We all know about not calling the police and fire brigade for no real reason and the same goes for an ambulance. Well the same also goes for going into hospital. There have been a lot of people who have been ringing 999 and going into A&E for things that are not what you would call a problem, let alone an emergency.
A new campaign from the NHS is urging people not to ring 999 or go into A&E unless they have a genuine reason. They have made a new video that shows four women sitting in what you think is a beauty salon or a hairdressers. It turns out that they are sat in a hospital waiting room, waiting to be seen for things like not being able to get acrylic nails off.
The thing is, people do actually turn at hospitals up and down the country with even more bizarre ‘problems’ than this. One man turned up at a hospital with a sick dog and another man was requesting an ambulance because he had been bitten on his finger by a Guinea Pig.
One woman took her daughter to the hospital because she had stood in dog poo and wanted staff at the hospital to clean it off. Another rather strange, disturbing example is when a woman rang 999 because she had diarrhoea. We imagine that would have been a slightly awkward call.
This video definitely has the potential to be a big hit, but it’s up to the NHS whether they want to promote it. It emphasises the importance of how people really shouldn’t waste the time of doctors and nurses as they have many, more important things to do and other patients who are suffering from more serious injuries.
If you do get a video like this made for your business, then you may need a web presenter to help you in making the video, and you almost certainly need to get in touch with a top quality video production company like video tile who can help you with whatever you need to produce your ideal video!
