If you need a heart stent there are lots of NHS hospitals where there is next to no chance of it happening, and you will be left to die... very poor treatment of early detected prostate cancer mostly people are just left to die slowly
I know a few NHS physiatric nurses and they are equally disgusted as you at the service they are able to provide, "pathways" are introduced by managers with NO scientific rationale or evidence, their favourite annoyance is Alistair Cambell who goes on at length about how good the NHS physiatric services were to him... What Alistair does not realise is that he was given VIP treatment, as mostly politicians and people in the public eye are..., and he had and has frequent and often direct consultant access. You see the NHS really is "Animal Farm" come to life, some really are much more equal than others...
The NHS is a national disgrace and embarrassment, yes its not at all about money, its about lack of buying power in the end customers hand. We should copy instead the system of New Zealand, Belgium or Italy where its a whole lot better.
