Well not in this case.  A patient in the Hobart Private Hospital noticed some bleeding from a wound drain after some surgery he’d had.  He rang the call bell to get some assistance.  After 10 minutes and no response, he rang his wife who rang the nurses’ station.  Again, no response.  He then rang 000 seeking help.  The hospital’s night duty supervisor then went to the ward and arrived at the same time as two nurses.  Lucky they did, otherwise it would have been a very short ambulance ride … from his hospital bed, to, his hospital bed.
