Eye operation

[Buster121]

Your health system is very broken , isn't it. I had a CT scan on my lungs the other day. Catherine had a Doctors appointment at 10 am, came home and said I had an appointment at 2.30 that afternoon. Went to the hospital, was in a done and out by 3.00pm.
That's pretty good.

Very broken indeed, it doesn't help when we have a 1000+ people coming in illegally almost every week plus all the ones coming from the war torn middle east etc for medical treatment and now they want to bring all the injured from Gaza to be treated and housed here

You are very lucky indeed with your health service

[Buster121]

Andy we pay for it in our national insurance and a lot of these medical insurances would be cheaper than NI, I also read this morning 1300 or 1600 come in from Bangladesh and Sudan on forged papers to enroll in our universities then after couple months claim asylum

I do agree that we have big problems with our NHS but refuse to bad mouth it (partly because my wife works for it lol), but I still think we are very lucky to have the NHS that we do have and generally for serious illness they are still very efficient.
It is frustrating though when you are waiting on a massive list only to see people who have never paid into our NHS taking priority, but sadly that's where our whole system whether its benefits, housing or medical care falls down
I've decided to use some of my pension to get my hernia repaired repaired privately as the wait is far too long through the NHS which does stick in the throat a bit as I've spent 40+ years paying into the NHS.

Trev I don't think anyone was bad mouthing it, I was just stating facts as they are mate, why should you or anyone else have to pay private treatment this is what we are supposed to be paying for through our NI contributions

To be honest, the problem with our NHS, it is an open door. People come from all over the world and use it for free. When i went to Hong Kong and China, i had to pay £90,00 for a visa, i have been staying this for years. WE should charge a visa entry to the UK, and all the money goes direct to NHS.

Or better still start charging and collecting payments before treatment starts as the do in Spain, have seen many times people having heart attack and they wont lift a finger to help until the insurance company has authorised it first or failing that make it a totally payable service for all

[Buster121]

What a bummer Trev can't you take the money out for a while so you can claim it, do you not have any insurance that you can claim from being self employed

Angie has had hers cancelled another twice was due again tomorrow but they cancelled it again on Friday afternoon same thing last week, now supposed to be the 27th we wait in anticipation

[Buster121]

Well she finally had it today just a wait and see now, while she was there one of the nurses was telling a lady that normally they do 30 ops per day but as Monday's is for complicaterd surgery only they can only fit 9 in as they take so much longer to do

[Buster121]
