It might not have been the swiftest referral, or best process of diagnosis ever, but still it seems the NHS has done it again. A friends ongoing stomach pain finally gets the better of her and she's in our local hospital recovering from having a gall stone removed. And getting a little bored wondering whether they'll keep her to get rid of the whole darn thing before they let her go. As she said 'Apparently you don't even need your gall bladder. Who knew?!'
It just seems so amazing to me that this care is so professionally delivered, all free, all reliable. I find it incredulous that successive Tory governments under fund it and cut cut cut, and absolutely appalling that Blair began the sell off to the slippery slope of privatisation. I expect my friend would have fared OK in her birth home of the USA, but what if she'd just been made redundant? Or had her 3 kids already at college. Could she have afforded the care she got then? #SaveOurNHS
