Abandoned Philips Integris H5000 Cardiac Cath Lab. Left behind when the hospital moved to a new location.

Welcome to Mossend District General Hospital. Administered by NHS Lanarkside, Mossend provides 24/7 Emergency Department services to Belshotmuir and the surrounding area. The Department also contains a Minor Injuries Unit in addition to having an attached GP Admission/Assessment Unit.

 

To the front right of the Department are marked ambulance parking bays. The two bays nearest to the door are designated as “Resus Only”, meaning they are to be saved for crews whose patient is so ill or injured as to require the hospital be put on standby to receive them. Travelling using blue lights and sirens, this is the only genuine time a person can claim to have been “rushed” to hospital.

 

To the far left of the building is a Portakabin installed by the Scottish Ambulance Service as a canteen and quiet room for SAS staff

 

Transport - A taxi rank is located directly outside the Department. A bus stop is directly across the road. Two local operators have services reaching Mossend. Stuarts of Carluke have commenced their “Hospital Shuttle” - service 400. Meanwhile FirstBus have launched their own “Hospital Link” service 100 in addition to rerouting service 263 through the Hospital grounds.

 

In reality this is a Kingsway kit, based on Holby City’s ED when Casualty was filmed in Cardiff. It has been slightly modified and renamed/rebadged.

this is my first multiplicity shot, taken at work, afterhours of course! haha!

Ambulance and Emergency Medical Services in Scotland are provided by the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), a special Health Board of the greater National Health Service (NHS) Scotland. SAS provides these services throughout all of mainland Scotland and the Islands. Emergency Medical Services are provided by the Accident & Emergency branch, providing Double Crewed Ambulances typically formed of a Paramedic and Technician, but which can be formed of double Tech or Para crews. Single Paramedics in cars, motorbikes or bicycles are Paramedic Response Units, used to provide immediate pre-hospital care to patients, or treating and discharging at scene. Also part of the A&E branch is the Urgent Tier service, using crews formed of an Ambulance Technician and Care Assistant, Urgent Tier convey patients who have been urgently referred to Hospital. The patients General Practitioner can request admission within a 1-4 hour timeframe. As such Urgent Tier vehicles use their emergency warning systems less than standard A&E crews. Due to the presence of a qualified Technician however UT resources can be used as a first responder to immediately life threatening calls.

 

SAS also has an Emergency Medical Retrieval Service (ScotSTAR), bringing Medical and Nursing care to patients as they transfer between Hospitals. Scotland is the only part of the UK to provide fully government funded Air Ambulance services, with two fixed wing and two rotary aircraft. They are assisted by the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance who provide additional cover with two helicopters of their own.

 

Special Operations Response Team (SORT) provide an emergency response to complex rescue, CBRN, terrorist attacks and other such incidents.

 

Scheduled Care is provided by the Patient Transport Service, the non-emergency branch of SAS. Using a variety of vehicles from cars, people carriers, minibuses and minibus conversion ambulances, PTS provides transport to and from outpatient clinics, for planned admissions and discharges. Staff crewing PTS vehicles are called Ambulance Care Assistants (ACA). They are experts in moving and handling, whereas A&E crews frequently remove patients from houses using equipment such as carry chairs, ACA’s must be adept at taking their patients back up stairs as well as extrications.

 

As with the majority of healthcare in Scotland, ambulance and emergency medical services are free at the point of use. Funded by National Insurance contributions made by those in work, Scots are extremely proud and defensive of our NHS. We generally believe that everyone should pay towards the common fund to ensure no-one has their life destroyed by medical costs, as illness and injury are not a choice. Having worked in the NHS and with SAS myself, I have resuscitated a man having a heart attack, conveyed him to Hospital, watched as Coronary Care staff removed the blockage from his artery and left the man sitting up in bed in CCU. Knowing that he will be repatriated to his nearest General Hospital for Coronary Rehab and will go home to ongoing care in the community. That man could take time to recover, safe in the knowledge that no crippling bill or endless fights with healthcare insurance would befall him. That is our NHS, that is why we love it and cannot understand the US system.

X-Ray system for Interventional Radiology procedures.

Explored [5dmk2, 50mm f1.4, CS3]

This is the last of my “medical series” (for now). This fellow is a cardiologist with a sense of humour (which is quite rare). So, here is a joke which he may enjoy if he sees this:

In a car garage, where a famous heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to take a look at his Mercedes, there was a loud mouthed mechanic who was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car. He saw the surgeon waiting and lured him into an argument.

 

He asked the doc after straightening up and wiping his hands on a rag, "Look at this car i'm working on. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind them, put in new parts, and when I finish this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

 

The surgeon very calmly leaned over and whispered to the loudmouth mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."

 

[Side note: this picture really made me appreciate the 5dmk2's low light capabilities, very impressive. This was 1/125 at f2.2, ISO 800, no flash]

A Scottish Ambulance Service Urgent Tier vehicle is parked by the entrance for the GP Admissions Unit, having brought in a patient. Meanwhile a Doctor arrives to start his shift, carrying a bag. He passes a man on crutches with a broken leg who is exiting the hospital. Finally, while his colleague stays by the RPU car, a police officer walks towards a third whom he is relieving from a hospital watch.

The second, Scotland’s second national drink - Barrs Irn Bru.

I’ve a lot to thank the NHS for, to put it most simply it’s given me my life and for that I’m truly thankful. After an accident I was born prematurely but with the help of the NHS I pulled through. I have endured many problems throughout my life it was always the NHS that made life better. I’m soon to enter my 70th year and married with 2 grown up children but without the Health Service my life would have been so different. God Bless the NHS.

Sometimes everything goes just perfectly.

The Cardiac Cath. Lab Transport Team is waiting just under the approach to the left for the incoming patient who is having a heart attack.

It doesn't get any better than this....for the patient.

 

This was tight quarters for a helicopter landing...

 

I've been working a lot this month...hence all the work related photos....

I'll be back to sunsets and flowers soon... :)
