You're not having a good time are you. 

 

If it's a relapse or a flare up a week is no time in my experience I hate to say.

I know all this, mate. My previous two relapses lasted six weeks and almost three months but they both involved loss of function in a limb. I was still able to be a smarmy, piss taking twat. 
 

Steroids are still the first thing they prescribe, but in tablet form rather than through a drip. 
 

Ta for the advice as usual. It is appreciated!

Ever since the strike was announced twitter has been full of digs about tik tok dances by nurses and diversity manager's. 

And people say the media no longer have an influence on people's opinion

Fuck the Tik Tok generation. Anyone would think nursing staff shouldnt find a little bit of respite when they've been dealing with death and other critical care issues all day, every fucking day and need something to relieve their stress levels a little.

I genuinley thought no one would take such nonsense seriously but there is loads of "there were all doing tik tok dances 'whilst my dad died.

[Strontium]

The nurses in my brother's hospital were making Tik Tok videos all day, but that was because the NHS wouldn't allow them to do their normal work during the pandemic.

I'm always torn with this stuff.

 

I can say hand on heart I've never had a good experience in hospital nor have any of my family. The Royal is like a third world hospital, at best.

 

I do hate the narrative around the NHS that you're somehow supposed to be grateful for it, or that you're a pain in the arse for turning up at A&E. 

 

I know there's always been staffing and funding issues and all the rest of it, but it's not my fucking fault.

[Strontium]

Like anything provided by the state, the NHS gives a service that is exactly as good as they feel like giving you. I have seen everything from very poor to very good healthcare for me and mine in just the last few years, it really is pot luck.

[littletedwest]

My experience is very good. Other than a and e which is shocking. Spot on with my step daughters cancer care. Mrs nephew died the other year and the care he received in intensive care was fantastic

[Jennings]

The people are great. The system is woefully under funded.

Is the correct answer. 

It wouldnt even still exist but for the fantastic people in it keeping it running despite every effort to make it not so.

Jeremy Hunt says the NHS is broken. Quite a claim from the man who has done more than most to break it.

It's normal people's fault for getting sick, mate. Can't they just use private health care like Hunt and his friends and family? He's a normal fella just like the rest of us...

 

 

Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt was born on 1 November 1966 in Lambeth Hospital, Kennington, and raised in Shere, Surrey, near the constituency he represents in Parliament.[9][10] He is the eldest son of Admiral Sir Nicholas Hunt,[11] who was then a Commander in the Royal Navy assigned to work for the Director of Naval Plans inside the recently created Ministry of Defence,[12] and his wife Meriel Eve Hunt, Lady Hunt (née Givan; 1937–2022), daughter of Major Henry Cooke Givan.[13] The Hunt family were landed gentry, of Boreatton, Baschurch, Shropshire. A cousin was Dame Agnes Hunt, pioneer of orthopaedic nursing.[14] Through a paternal great-grandmother, Hunt is a descendant of Sir Streynsham Master, a pioneer of the East India Company.[15] He is also a distant relative of Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Oswald Mosley.

They probably would be less likely to vote Tory if they didnt have them.

Just watching this programme on BBC 2 Surgeons at the edge of life my word the skill and the balls on these health care professionals is truly outstanding,  Whatever salary they are on it's not enough

Yes, because when private companies provide me a service or product it's always universally incredible and they always respond incredibly effectively to any requests I have.

 

I also really enjoy the profit margins they make on me, particularly when I have a limited understanding of the service/product I'm buying.

 

My favourite thing is when said private firms collapse/ don't function, which always leaves me with multiple other service providers/product relayers in my local area.

 

I also find that there is often many different types of private enterprise I can access and never a monopoly, which is great.

 

Let me return to my mind creche as I have numerous other reasons why I love buying services from private firms in the glorious free market.

 

[Moctezuma]

The NHS's main issues are:

 

-Lack of capital budget

-Lack of funds for ongoing services

-The demography of the population (loads of olds)

-The geographical spread of said demography in comparison to the working age population

-It's success in keeping significantly more parts of the population alive for longer

-The collapse of community care/primary care in part due to demographic pressures and significantly due to funding decisions made by Central government regarding council funds

-The UK's press environment, which doesn't allow for effective discussion of how population health and good quality lived years can be achieved

Listening to Campbell and Rory Stewarts podcast the other day and apparently a qualified brain surgeon after 10 years training is on £24 an hour in the NHS, no wonder they're fucking off to private practice.

This is why the world is fucked,the priorities are on the wrong things.

Well, no it isn't, and no they don't, but then you have a choice whether to keep using them or go elsewhere.

 

Really missed your insane straw men though, keep it up.
