Thanks for the mention Abs. Loved your description of the NHS as a two legged, half an uddered sacred cow we keep feeding.

Trying some old fashioned therapy.

I'm excited, the last 5 min of my drive to work I can now witness the sun coming up. Next week I'll be driving with the sun right there, RIGHT THERE! And I'll be soaking up every glorious ray of it.

Is it spring yet?

Loved your chat, as always.

I must take a look at UK Column however all of this triage and 10 minute only consultations is, to my mind, in advance of almost complete remote diagnosis and treatment. And if you don't take the recommended medication after the incessant blood testing then you will be penalised via your social credit score which will be linked to insurances etc.

Orwellian and Huxleyesque control via medication is almost complete and the stuff will probably be delivered, with your Amazon order, by drone. Your blood pressure will be under constant scrutiny, as will your whereabouts. Sadly fuckwits seem to enjoy this and even embrace being monitored and cannot wait to tell everyone how many steps they've done on their last walk. I'm just waiting for the sex monitor app. Will it give marks for timing, technique and overall performance?

Oh Abi let us know how Jonny gets on. There was an article the other day saying that nearly 57000 patients could have been saved if they weren't waiting 12-14 hours sat in A&E. What the hell. NHS is booked

You’ve reminded me that last year I was offered a seat on the Tube by a heavily pregnant woman. I politely refused and she became insistent. I caught sight of my reflection and understood. One of the lowest points in my 2024. Keep up the great work.

The NHS used to have outdoor areas where they put the beds to get sunshine too! Now they are filled with 5G, no air, toxic 'antibacterial' shite, toxic lighting and awful food (of course) have you ever noticed how unwell all the nurses are? I once had my baby in a hospital when I was pregnant with my second and after one night I said to the consultant "I have to leave - my baby needs proper food, sleep and air and I (and unborn baby) need proper food sleep and air." It just seemed that everything was designed to make you ill and that is before the malpractice and actual killing (I am grinding my teeth at night too!)

Wow.Sorry to hear about Jonny 's recent NHS experience!Hope he's getting things sorted now.

I've been lucky and had good experiences with our NHS, but know so many who haven't.They are ridiculously overfunded with corrupt overpaid management and many staff are just used to illness and death so people are treated as numbers.There is a lot of theft and nonsensical 'health and safety' regs to deal with though and the fact that the whole world comes here to use the "free" NHS,and also work for them, means it's way overstretched too.I don't know what the answer is apart from getting rid of corrupt management and say that we're closed for newcomers.Difficult because nobody is going to scrap it are they?
