Since the brief I set for myself mainly deals with advertising what's wrong with the society that we live in, I thought I'd focus on something close to home.  Since my dad's a doctor, I've a lot to work with regarding the faults in Irish healthcare.  I found some websites regarding the amount of people who have to sleep on hospital trolleys every year because there's a shortage of beds (this is in the hundreds).  I found some pretty shocking stories.  Some examples are the following, an 87 year old woman sleeping on a trolley for 57 hours before getting a bed, a man dying on a trolley from lack of immediate treatment for the condition he was in, a woman left on a trolley for nearly 3 days etc.

Here're the links to the websites to these stories.






I reckoned this would be a good place to start.
