This after I had to suffer through my economics professor singing the praises of British and Canadian socialized medicine. Don't worry, I got up and left the class after a few minutes. I couldn't take it any longer.

Bill would still be waiting in line for his Triple Bypass and Neutering.

Good catch, Stoat! This is exactly what the liberals want for the U.S., the country which, by the way, foreigners flee to when they need REAL medical treatment! Socialized medicine is a complete failure. Whoda thunk?
BTW, folks: STOAT IS A GREAT AMERICAN!

My Welsh Grandmother died of septicemia right here in a US hospital from an infection from a bad tooth. However, that was when there were no antibiotics, when doctors re-used needles, when doctors didn't always bother to wash up or wear latex gloves and long before I was born.
Thank God this young man was given antibiotics, and eventually got medical care. I wonder though if he will make it.

No, socialism is really a 2-tiered system that reserves a special place for the elite. People like him would never have to wait in line.

No he wouldn't. If you have money in the UK, there are doctors who will take patients outside "the system."

I hear you can wait 6 months for an MRI in some countries. Just awful.
In the US there are for-profit places where you can get them as a walk-in.

Conwy and Denbighshire NHS Trust said: We cant discuss individual cases. But if Mrs Owen contacts patient services at the hospital we will discuss her concerns.

One of my best friends and his wife are recently moved here from north Wales; she grew up just outside Colwyn Bay and is an RN, and came here because the NHS was breaking down.
Having said that, north Wales is a great place, and when I was last there, when my friend's sister was getting married last year, I had a wonderful time and experienced none of the anti-Americanism I would have expected in London or other "enlightened" places.

"Peter was not registered with an NHS dentist when he developed raging toothache."
Which suggests he hasn't seen a dentist in years. Perhaps his mother or father should have registered him with one in the first place?
To: GeronL
Wow what a bad deal. Thanks for the ping GeronL. I can tell you from personal experience that the English medical system is a mess. Glad this lad recovered.
