Let us count the number of people who are surprised
A&E waits: Hundreds of patients a week in England may have died unnecessarily
A study found there was likely an excess death for every 72 patients who spent eight to 12 hours in A&E. Nurses say the "crisis" is "taking lives".
More than 250 patients a week in England may have died unnecessarily last year due to very long waits for a bed in A&E, new estimates suggest.
A study by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) suggests patients are put at risk by spending hours in A&E, particularly after a decision has been made to admit them.

All part of the global depopulation agenda...
Dave - somebody will have to explain why the number is so low.
There but for the grace ….
James - me too.
Is there a Royal College of Routine (or even Non Emergency) Medecine?
There might be but as they never reply to any communications it cannot be proved.
A Schrödinger's Royal Society, if you like.
Doonhamer - that would match the Schrödinger's GP service we hear about.
