Forde's Blog

Good evening once again.

It seems as though my anger has finally caught up with me and I must do a little complaining. As some of you may know, I have much resentment towards the HSE at the moment. I don’t intend to go into the politics behind this aspect of government at all. I have no desire to cause a heated debate over anything politics related as I have recently lost all faith in the government of this country. Said plainly: They’re a Wunsch of Bankers. But politics is not my strongpoint so you won’t find much here.

Firstly I would like to explain why I’m so angry at the HSE. They have screwed me over a number of times, which includes the demanding of medical bills which only matter when making an insurance claim, so it’s totally money hungry. Especially since they would discount €56,000 if i wasn’t making a claim.

On Sunday, for the fourth time, my operation that was due the next day was cancelled because they had no room even though I had been guaranteed a bed the day before.  Now whether that is the HSE or the Mater’s immediate fault I do not know. But the problem essentially lies with the HSE as they control the money. But it was avoidable.

Another problem I have is with A&E. When I was last there, about a month ago, I was waiting for eight and a half hours. There were no more than two doctors available. I would have understood this wait if there had been an emergency patient, but there was none. Every patient there was not dying. It was mostly broken items like myself. It took almost five hours to be told I needed an x-ray, which I knew anyway and if I was a doctor could have went down to get one myself. There just seems to be a serious lack of efficiency.

Well, it seems my bitching is done. I really needed an outlet for anger venting and this helped. So if you take time to read this I thank you.

Good evening. It is 11:45 pm and this is the Voice of Fate..It is the Twenty Eighth of the Second, Two Thousand and Ten. (Hugs to anyone who gets this)

Only a small percentage of “teh internetz” will know that I am Forde, mild-mannered superhero. As you can see, I have come backflipping onto the bandwagon that is blogging. So I’ve decided to do this because I can’t make an appearance on Grouchy Young Men. Not all of this will be grumpy. I’m in no mood to be grumpy today as I have just had a particularly brilliant weekend. My overall goal of this blog is to improve my writing for the wonderful mockery of education that is the Irish Leaving Cert. But aside from the grumblings of an angry teenager, I would like to talk about my great weekend.

It began on friday evening. I had finished the last of my mocks, which went particularly well, I think, considering that I spent all of my time studying history. That evening  consisted of a few celebratory pints of Guinness with Kev, Seán and Plunky( The Leixlipians). This continued my streak of losing every darts game I have played. But it was an enjoyable night.

Saturday morning saw me heading over to Darrell’s for some general hanging out with the band and the forming of our superhero identities. Unfortunately I can’t mention any details of these yet. Not publicly anyway. This ended in a great band practise in which we were told that we had improved by Ginger Ste, King of the Gingers and our number one fan. During the practise I was also informed of Ireland’s victory in Twickenham, marking our 6th win over England out of the last seven years. I was a happy boy indeed. Saturday evening had me in a dress on my way to Dave O’ Neill’s four and a halfth birthday. Also featuring Mr. Lenehan as a maverick australian cop that travels through time with his Digital Didgeridoo and solves crimes that haven’t happened yet. And we were all quite drunk.  It was a good day.

Sunday morning didn’t like me at all. Hangover and covered in make up. I crawled home and de-hangovered enough to hit the gym. Later travelling to Danny’s I discovered that my operation had been cancelled for the fourth time, effectively leading to the creation of this blog. I dislike this country’s health service. So myself, Danny and Viking Smith proceeded to have an eventful day of ass kicking with a certain Italian plumber. This culminated in the total victory of the blue team. GO BLUE TEAM. ( http://twitpic.com/15xgi1 ). This succeeded to completely cheer me up and I must thank Danny and Rob for this.

And so came an end to my fantastic weekend. Soon to come ” The whale and the horror that is the HSE.” But not yet. I now pause with stilled blood to await criticism from a certain few people.

Thankyou for reading .
