NHS=Negligent Health Service

We all hear about hospitals and doctores being sued for grossincompetence and neglligence.
My own experience of a Negligent Health Service comes form earlier this year and before that. I'd been having inexplicable pains in my left side for a few years. Every time I saw a doctor they just fobbed me off with painkillers that didn't work, despite me telling them that.. Anyway, thigs got to a point this year when |I went again, told them what the problem was and they said there was nothing wrong with me deppite me telling them I kept on having the same pains three times a day, every day. A coupile of weeks later, I HAD to be taken to the hospital TWICE by ambulance in the samer week and still got the same depite me telling them that there was something wrong somewhere and I knew there was. Anyway two weeks later, I ended up in another hopsital where they found out what the problem was (build up of stimach acidand these pains really hurt).
Now the doctor's decided that that I'm not due an inhaler for my athsma yet. Im know when I'm due for an inhaler and it won't be the doctor gasping for breath and needing an inhaler.
There was another case recently where somebody contracted aids after being injected with a needle which had been dropped and picked off on the floor and used on him.

National Health Service? Negligent Health Service more like

They'll expect me to go for my booster jab ASAP but if they want me to play by their rules, no inhaler? No booster jab until I get my inhaler then.

Gastritis and gastroenteritis, IBS, Crohns... none of them are trivial complaints. They can be sodding painful. Crippling, even.

Don't tell me about the pains and how agonising they are. I told one of the ambulance crew that you'd confess to anything just for them to stop. All I wanted was to be kept in overnight for observation and to prove that I was legit. When I fianlly did get admitted to hospital (at least Wythenshaw hospital actually took it seriously enough to keep me in overnight). Turned out I was also suffering from dehydration (with the amount of fluid I was taking with the paracetomol) and it took a day to get my heart rate down to normal.
When you have to be taken to hospital in an ambulance for the same time twice in the same week there's got to be something wrong.

That's assuming the average politician (especially current generation) will actually listen to anyone.

Only if you make an under the table 'donation' in the form of a large brown envelope stuffed with cash, take them on an all expenses paid golding holiday or weekend on a yacht.

I would prefer a system that costs more via an increase in pay rather than socialised insurance as it makes people more accountable.

In my case the doctor that discharged me is being held liable and is the subject of a GMC investigation, but what does he care when he's sucking off the teat of taxpayers? It's not going to cost him anything.

My records vanished into thin air, I looked at the ED discharge form and was horrified to see "no treatment given" when I was in the hospital for 3 days on IV antibiotics. My GP was shocked when I told him I'd spent 3 days in hospital because they had no record of it!

Yeah. Know how you feel about 'no treatment given' despite being taken to the hospital TWICE IN THE SAME WEEK for the same condition and an appointment for the same thing a few weeks eariler with the same answer and telling them that pain killers didn't work.

I work for them and I can think of lots of other ways.
eg It would be great to ring an ambulance and it would be at your house in 8 minutes like they used to be.

Call for an ambulance or somebody calls one for you now, you get interrogated by somebody at the other end of the line, even if you're having a stroke, bad ahtsma attack or heart attack when every second count but don't tell them to STOP WASTING PRECIOUS TIME! SOMEBODY COULD BE DYING HERE SO JUST NEVER MIND THE PROCEEDURES, JUST SEND A ******* AMUBLANCE!! They'll just put the phone down
