wrighty Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 55 minutes ago, James Blonde said: With all respect to Manx Care, it would be incredible for them to be in a position to provide medical cover for an event like the TT in less than 6 months, when we've only just had warnings to avoid A&E, waiting lists seem to be climbing and staff seem to be leaving. The TT is almost always 5+ body bags and however many others being pieced back together. Would UK trauma units even be willing to accept people from such an event with current pressures over there? I don’t think the hospital is the main issue. In May things will be better with regard to ED, and waiting lists, as bad as they are, are not really relevant to the hospital’s ability to cope with trauma. The UK trauma units are more relevant. Each TT we tend to fill Aintree with mashed up bikers. At the moment the whole UK NHS is struggling. I hope they’re involved in the decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would quite like to know one way or another - if it's going ahead I will get flights booked off island for a few weeks. The world should be re-opening rather nicely by next May. What you should do is spread the risk, book the flights but only one way. Who knows, by the time you've been somewhere else for a few weeks you may find enough things there to whinge about to keep you contented and decide not to come back.

Yes, but it’s what we do here, and have done as long as I’ve been here. You could argue that without TT we’d have no waiting list as those 2 weeks (4 including MGP) Mount up over the years. Without the covid shutdown of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Speaking to a Marshall friend of mine and he reckons shortage of Marshalls will be the biggest problem. They are stricter now on training so picking them up at the last minute is not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think RC is way off the mark about the air services. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
