Cancer patients are missing chemo slots due to lack of hospital beds

Cancer patients who present for chemotherapy are being sent home because of a lack of beds in hospitals, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

“It is a constant source of distress for patients that call our nurse line or present at daffodil centres in hospitals. “In terms of diagnostic tests when someone has been told that they have symptoms that require urgent investigation, sometimes when they get the test they will be relieved to find out that they don’t have cancer.

Harris and Dr Varadkar are all over it.

Our health service is a national emergency, our homeless crisis is not only a national emergency but it’s criminal and where’s our government leaders, telling the world how great we are, come and live in Ireland just don’t get sick

Oh god no? No, no, nooooooo

Centres of excellence. Joke .I know a person waiting 5 weeks for a bed to start chemo . Some health service .

In México people die waiting for an appointment for chemo, there are just too many sick people and little resources. If it were my case I would rather take the euthanasia than going through this. It should be a universal right.

Even my beloved Portiuncula?
