NHS! in crisis
I could not believe my eyes today while driving down Leith Walk in edinburgh.
As usual I was looking around while parked in traffic, when out of the corner of my eye i catch a glimpse of .....
A hospital bed with a patient in it! 
This thing is parked at the bus stop, fully loaded with patient, oxygen mask and botlle!
there is no ambulance in site, no sirens etc
got a pic but really does not do it justice
do not know if it was a stunt or it was for real
I can only guess they got a better paying private patient and dropped this bloke off untill they could return!

Re: NHS! in crisis
I WOULD SEND THIS TO MY LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
Runaway patient?

Re: NHS! in crisis
im annoyed with the pic, because it does not capture the guy lying there.
This man looked as white as a sheet, with the mask on!
It looked hilarious!

Re: NHS! in crisis
Send it to the BBC with the full story you just gave. Seriously. It's easy to submit pics and put the story with it.

Re: NHS! in crisis
Brilliant Geomuss - we need to find out who this person is and why they were at a bus stop. I agree, email the story to the Beeb or to your local rag.
Though using a camera phone whilst driving

Re: NHS! in crisis
DEFINATELY SEND IT
Is that the highest res you have, I may be able to improve the patient for you, but if it's a camera phone i doubt there is much I can do
