There has been a lot of talk about the shortage of hospital beds in public hospitals recently. We have a patient in the cardiothoracic ward who was admitted with unstable angina and is due for a CABG between now and the 13th of February. Why do they keep these patients in hospital when they are simply waiting for an operation some time over the next two weeks? Do they have to be hanging around incase they have a cardiac event? And if they are so acute, wouldn’t they just slot them to theatre in the next day to two?
