You certainly fully understand what youre speaking about, and I can truly get behind that. <a href="https://www.glassdoor.co.in/Location/Prospect-Medical-Holdings-Los-Angeles-Location-EI_IE8848.0,25_IL.26,37_IC1146821.htm" rel="nofollow">Sam Lee</a><br />mahnoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195359451582037137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-66935515148827099872015-01-12T11:46:12.216+00:002015-01-12T11:46:12.216+00:00I've been pretty lucky in that I've never ...I've been pretty lucky in that I've never had anything much wrong with me but, like most people in later life, I'm plagued by lots of minor inconveniences. In the past 18 months you stipulate I've had no difficulties in getting prompt NHS dental and podiatric treatment, seen three different consultants on three separate matters, had two expensive scans at no cost to myself which, happily, discovered nothing seriously wrong, and had one satisfactory visit to A and E when I received reasonably prompt sand very effective and courteous attention. <br /><br /> I'm given to understand that, on serious and urgent matters, the NHS is prompt and effective. Clearly, from reports, serious failings have been evident in some regions and at some hospitals and it is clear that we desperately need more resources in, or alternatives to, A and E. <br /> <br />My only gripe about the NHS is the difficulty of getting an appointment with a GP. My experience, in which: “No appointment are available this week, no we can't give you an appointment for next week as the books aren’t yet open yet, but ring every morning at 08h00 in case there’s a cancellation” appears to be general. This seems to me to be potty and I fail to understand it. <br /> <br />Since most GP practices are now groups one solution would be for one doctor to go back to the old system and have a “walk in” service, in which you sit and wait your turn, and try desperately to remember the faces of those already there when you arrived, so that you’d know when your turn is.<br /><br />So I stick with my view that the NHS is far from in crisis, but is a bit frayed at the edges. Many people in the world, even in rich countries like the US, would be delighted to have such a service.<br />Peter Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481117156930677255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-82705239877237186792015-01-10T18:52:33.347+00:002015-01-10T18:52:33.347+00:00"Predictably Labour claims that the NHS is in..."Predictably Labour claims that the NHS is in "crisis." This is nonsense, typical of the hyperbolic campaigning style which puts people off politics."<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, have you had much contact with the NHS recently? I hadn't, until 18 months ago, and would probably have responded much as you did. But I've been pretty appalled by what I've experienced since then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
