My sister-in-law had one of her kids in a public UK hospital. I’m told it was downright medieval. How medieval you ask? She and the baby still had blood on them when they went home - that night. Welcome to socialized medicine.
It's obvious anyone in this country who wants a UK-style national health service has never actually used it.
Having an infected blister cleaned and dressed in the local doctor's smoke-stench filled study was bad enough, but the faint whiff of liquor on his breath (at 10AM!) was unnerving.
But at least it was free!
