Re: A week on an NHS Ward

For sure there's plenty of room for improvement but this thread should tell you that some people have had positive experiences it's not something to completely run down. I'm not ...

Re: A week on an NHS Ward

One thing I saw about the US system with all its many faults, is that the surgeons do far more surgery. They tend to operate for 7 or 8 days per fortnight, wheras UK surgeons perhaps 2 days. Obviously the motivation is money, but it has the same efect as a more altruistic operation - more people ge...

Re: A week on an NHS Ward

That is all just an absolute disgrace. Every line of it made my blood boil. I have a number of recent examples of just appalling service, but nothing as bad as that. The NHS is completely broken. No longer fit for purpose, with as Boss Hogg said, too many users for its size. It has been defunded & ...

The NHS is a socialist ponzi scheme. You are basically stuck in a system with no choice of service provider.

I’ve read reports suggesting Guardiola will be changing City’s formula quite a bit next season; much more direct, to counter the passing style that has become the norm and he feels they need something new as other clubs learn to counter his tactics.
Makes sense!
