druggies and drunks stop the average person from seeing a doctor at an emergency ward on weekends.

Hi Runner,

But it makes you wonder why God invented alcohol, or tobacco, or all manner of natural hallucinogenic plants. She MUST have a purpose for all those things.

Then again, She did invent mosquitos and fleas, so She certainly moves in mysterious ways.

runner,

You are right. It is the 12 hour stretch from 6pm to 6am. Hugely difficult to handle.

Whereas accidents that do not involve alcohol tend to present from lunchtime to six pm.

I feel very sorry for the cigar smokers having to put up with such a disease riddled body walking in their vicinity.

Perhaps you should lock yourself away from these people, for their benefit Nathan, if not your own.

From your constant carping about how dreadful other people are, perhaps you should move to a desert island, where the company may suit you.

ttbn,

Many hospitals public and private at present are at full capacity and are struggling to meet demand.

From this website: "Ward C3 used to hold mental health patients, but is now being used by 10 in-patients waiting to be discharged.

The ward's re-opening comes after more than a dozen patients at the RAH were treated outside of the emergency department in queued ambulances last night.

Ambulance figures showed all major hospitals were running over capacity overnight."

Smoking related illnesses cost the Australian community approximately 13 billion dollars annually, and this does not include any flow on costs, impacts on business and the flow on effects onto others.

So instead of just taking down people with an illness, recognise that what smokers are doing is essentially "stealing" medical professionals away from people with illness they did not put onto themselves.

Finally - I know you don't have an illness of any type, because if you did, you would not make such "ill" informed comments. You might like to go and talk to parents who have to look after children with a severe illness or disability. You'll then change your attitude.

Lol Loudmouth.....I loved your comments about the 'she' God to Runner :)

Gee Hasbeen, that is the pot calling the kettle black if ever I have heard one!
I assumed you already lived on a desert island....
