I'm delighted that you like it. :-)
I myself was a patient under the new NHS in 1952 and 1954.
I'm very sorry to hear of your health troubles, but happily you remain with us today, fighting the good fight :-)
If you had absolute authority and power to change anything at all pertaining to the points you made, what would you do? How would you change things to make them better?
There was a film made for propaganda purposes in WW2. Most will never see it. NINE MEN . The crux of the message for men doomed was not to give up. They were alone in the Western Desert. It was to remember personal pride in themselves. This coupled with the fact, that they were comrades.
A bit far off I know but..... As human beings we have to recognize that the one of the ultimate things to be desired- is human dignity. My friends mother was 92 years old. She loved casino gaming. From Canada at the Michigan border, she took a nasty turn at the Upper Penninsula's Bay Mills casino.
They got her to War Memorial Hospital in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. Ah, like royalty the elderly lady was treated. She almost made it to 100 yrs. She missed the Queens message. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? You bet.
We heard later, she would have been treated for the nasty turn anyway. To have not paid would have been downright rotten. The system has to have renumeration.
Bit of a screed. Liked telling it.
