If it's non-urgent then invariably you need to wait but if it's an emergency.......when I had meningitis 2 years ago they were faultless, likeise when my dad had his quadruple heart bypass.

They get so much of a slagging - some justified, most not, but the country would be fucked without it.

Well said, I work for the NHS, and behind the scenes people rarely get any praise for the tireless work they do, and the general public have no idea how difficult it is have to adhere to stupid labour targets , and their stupid attempts to bring down waiting times with out increasing capacity, and dont even get me started on Choose and book or the national system

The NHS is so amazlingly abused however it is shocking, The governement should start clamping down on who is exactly entitled to free non emergancy treatment in my opinon

Oh sure, cos we all know Micheal Moore tells the gods honest truth and NEVER twists truth and fact and moulds it into his portrayal of "truth"

I'm not moaning about the NHS as such, more so that we don't get a CHOICE what type of medical care we want in this country. We can go private healthcare, and naturally we have to pay for it, but you also STILL have to pay for the NHS - which if you have private healthcare, would be like paying for car insurance and taking a cab everywhere....

And then of course everyone started harping on about how private healthcare doesn't cover things like cancer, etc, and that is done on the NHS - it wouldn't be if the NHS didn't exist would it? The NHS doesn't exist in the states yet they still manage to do all the cancer and serious life threatening illnesses we have - omg, how do they do it ithout the NHS? The only reason private medical care passes off these types of illnesses is cos it's cheaper to do it on the NHS - if the NHS didn't exist then they would have to do them would they not? Or would we just ignore them?

The thing that annoys me about the NHS is you walk in (or in my case hobble in as last time I went I couldn't use my left foot) and I have to sit there for 4 hrs not getting seen while a bunch of tax dodging unemployed's get seen first? Thats bollocks and you know it is!

Thats the point tho - it's not fucking free! I pay for it every fucking month! So if I cut myself and want stiches, then why should I not get them for "free" since I have already paid for them?

But why when I want an xray cos my ankle is locked and doesn't move and I can't put any weight on it, the NHS tell me that even tho they have no idea what is wrong with it, they won't xray it untill there is a 4x or more history of a problem... Thanks! Maybe an xray would solve the mystery of the inept doctor who can't diagnose shit, and get the problem fixed BEFORE it becomes a problem I have to live with? Considering I've paid NI for 12 fucking year non stop, never missing a payment, never been out of work, never been on the social, never been on handouts, I reckon I should get one lousy xray!!!!!



THIS IS MY FUCKING POINT

Trust me the NHS is amazing. When i was in the state, i was at a cash machine and there was a women begging for money to get medical treatment. Now it might have been bullshit as she might have wanted money for cocaine. but i can see it as without insurance (which is NOT cheap) your fucked.


No way go pvt. Though imo if your a persistant patient going in for stuff which you can avoid. Like drunken bums with crapes to arms etc i think maybe should chagre a nominal fee, as might stop them wasting time and make them think twice? Just a thought


But until you have to pay for stupied things like a blood test at the doctors you dont relise how lucky we are here. i just wish they would make it more efficent!!!!! AS we could get more for the money. but thats for another discussion.

I can safely say, now i have actually seen this film..... it has well and truly opened my eyes!

Yeah ok the NHS isn't as perfect as we would all like it to be, but at least we dont have to lose out livelyhood, our homes, and sometimes the clothes on our backs just to finance our health treatment.

One woman was being charged $120 for a an inhaler, she needed two of these a week.... she went to cuba and and could get the same inhaler for 3 pesos.... about 5 cents......

Here, we get all of our medication for a flat rate of £6.85...... cant really moan at that now can we!
