That's so offensive to me. I've done military service, have worked hard, and paid taxes, all my life. I'm retired now, still paying taxes, and cannot get an operation for my knees, despite being in extreme pain, and very bad mobility. Yet fit young ILLEGAL immigrants get first class medical services - who actually come to THEM. It's insulting and offensive, as well as being immoral. We should all stop paying taxes, until the government get their priorities right.

I live in the US, but speak with my cousin in Surrey at least once a week. Recently, his 80 yr old wife fell in their garden and broke both bones in her forearm. This elderly woman waited three weeks to see an orthopedic consultant. Thankfully, my cousin knew to immobilize her arm immediately after her accident and the consultant didn’t have to re-break her healing fractures. Had this happened to me, I would have driven 3 miles to the local hospital emergency room and been treated within an hour. There’s something to be said for a healthcare system in which providers have to compete for our business.

I'd ask your cousin why he didn't take his wife to an accident and emergency unit at the nearest hospital , She would have had an x-ray and trestment the same day, I'm actually calling BS on this , We do have emergency treatment units in the UK , it's not the 3rd world 😅😅😅😅

@@tillyt4054 My cousin did take her to the emergency room where they performed an X-ray and confirmed that the bones were broken. They did not, however, treat the injury and were told they would have to make an appointment to see a consultant. No consultant was available for 3 weeks. BTW, my family and I were treated in a NHS emergency room in 1999 and received excellent care. My mother spent 10 days in a NHS ICU at this time and received excellent care. Just shows how much the NHS has deteriorated in the last 25 years.

In Mexico this week, I mentioned to a cook at a restaurant that I hadn't seen him for a while. He told me he had felt a strong pain in his stomach while at work and went to a private hospital where it was identified as appendicitis. He was told he would have to pay 130,000 pesos for the operation. Unable to pay that amount, he went to a public IMSS hospital where he was told he would have to pay even more for the operation, as he was not registered (not paying social security). His employer contacted his accountant, who went online and registered him as a legal employee. An hour later, his appendix was removed at no cost. He's a young guy, but without that last-minute intervention, he would have died.

I have to disagree about the criticism of the NHS. My wife recently, whilst on holiday in Mexico slipped on wet tiles and had a head wound and a broken wrist. The local hospital charged us $5000 to patch up and then wanted $35000 for an operation which they said was needed immediately. UK doctors via our insurance company did not agree and we were shipped back to the UK. LEEDS general infirmary were brilliant as was the orthopaedic clinic afterwards. My wife has not needed an operation and is on the mend. Overseas it was all about give us the money and we will treat you. As a 65year old was shocked at this approach and so grateful for the NHS.

Here is another way of viewing the NHS. If we compare the human body to the motor vehicle then the NHS is just a National Garage service and the Doctors, Nurses and Consultants are only different levels of body mechanics with different skill sets! ie some are engine specialists while others concentrate on transmissions or suspension, then there are those who only do regular servicing or tyre changes! Just as in hospitals the mechanics are only interested in the parts they specialize in and not the whole vehicle(person)! In both cases the service is only as good as the technicians. The other major comparison is the daily amount of waste that is produce in over staffed organizations, and the lack of communication due to restricted practices! IE vertical management structures that lead to mini empires being created. Rather than a flat staffing structure!
