Load of people are. Do as I say etc…Yes they are but then they are also telling you to stop doing it because it’s bad for you! I’m not having a go at them I just think it’s ironic.

Of course we don’t, but post-Brexit, we’ve missed a trick in making the biggest R&D department within the NHS and selling the drugs we licence around the world to fund free healthcare for everyone here.Regardless, they are not the only options. Most of Europe does fine without either.
The NHS isn't any better (or worse perhaps) than many other health care systems. I have lived in many different countries around the world and have received care equivalent to the NHS without any additional cost. The idea that it is NHS or USA health care, with nothing in-between, is ridiculous. It seems to me just to be an argument to scare people into thinking we need the NHS in its present guise.

Different to mine having worked as a nurse in the NHS for around 30 years. I’m not fat by the way
Why not?

Firstly, can I say how sorry I am to hear about your wife‘s accident. My sister in law was broke her hip about seven years ago and I know the pain she was in, the hospital stay, the physio and recovery. If you feel that your wife is not getting the right care or you’re getting mixed messages about her care then talk to the ward sister. Or at the very least ask to to to your wife’s staff nurse.My missus had a freak fall last weekend and broke her hip very badly, it took the Ambulance 4 hours to get to our house, once there one particular Nurse treated her very roughly (my wife is a nurse but now works in research) she is going to be in hospital for a few weeks and the care she is getting is very hit and miss, Consultent tells her one thing about how she should start her phisio after and the phisios tell her something else and leave her feeling terrible when they make her get up on a zimmer frame so they can tick a box, it's making me very angry to see her so upset I'm going to end up in trouble telling the pricks what i think about what they are doing, most of the staff just sit in the hub on their mobiles ignoring the buzzer to let you in during visiting you have to wait until someone with a access card wants to go into the ward, it's certainly opened my eyes to the kind of people the NHS employ, if you've got a pulse you will get a job
I wish your wife a speedy recovery.
While the NHS is not perfect I dont feel able to criticise the people working in it until I am willing to spend a day in there shoes, mopping up sick, wiping other peoples backsides, watching people you have got to know & like die a painfull & sometimes lonely death, get abused & shouted at by drunk dickheads etc etc.
(Hope Mrs Frothy makes a quick & full recovery)

Please please tell me you will be volunteering to knock on doors at Election time explaining to potential voters the error of their ways in your usual eloquent mannerThings can only get better. Perhaps you'd like to hire a private psychologist to find out why you are such a ****.
Unfortunately there aren't Matrons any more, just well intentioned staff nurses, but they seem to be scared to tell the nursing assistants to get off their fat arses and do their jobs, like i said in my early post my wife is a nurse but she has worked in Research for the last 20 years and can't believe how things have changed on the wardsFirstly, can I say how sorry I am to hear about your wife‘s accident.

If people still need it explaining it at this point they probably need to check into supported accomodation.
Are you volunteering to work at your local soup kitchen and serve local businessmen?
