The NHS

Which, to my mind, is going on in virtually every job you can think of, which is why we end up having so much immigration.
Everyone seems to want to sit on their ar*e all day, and spend the evenings in the gym.

 

Just after I left school, all the emphasis from the careers advisors seemed to be on training to be a lawyer, for the ultimate job. Low hours, high money, neat lifestyle.....it's no wonder there are several generations who don't fancy being nurses or artisans... Or that the UK has become a 'sue or be damned' paradise.

 

Dare I say it, but quite a lot of people have been over educated.
I like the old saying, "educated beyond their intelligence".
Not sure who said it now, but it surely fits

 

Resurrecting this thread again, sorry to keep banging on about it.

4 weeks ago I made an appointment to see my GP, the best one I could get, "late in the day" was 3pm on May 4th it was mostly for a usual 6 monthly check on blood pressure etc.

Soon after that my back did a wobbler on me, consequently, after wards I'm off work, been off since last wednesday, so after the few days of self certification I need to see the Doc for a sick note, personally I'd prefer to get back to work.

Called today and actually got through on the phone, no chance of getting a sooner appointment, with another Doc next appointment 9th May, my Doc 14th May.

I was told to turn up on Friday at 8.30 and ask for a 5 minute slot sometime that day.

Went passed the surgery at 9am last week and the queue was out the door and down the street.

Just hope its not raining on Friday morning.

 

Some parts of the NHS are good @wiseowl , but the bit most of us see is pretty awful in my opinion.
I think unless you are dying they dont do much, getting past the GP stage is often the most difficult part, and getting past the GPs receptionist is probably the hardest part of the lot.

 

NHS budget last year £120 BILLION POUNDS !

Last year alone they managed to kill 45,000 people who had treatable sepsis?

They do a lot of good but they also do an huge amount badly.
