old joe:
I get to hear all the horror stories about good and bad Drs and hospitals yet when i had my appendix removed last year I can't rate the NHS highly enough.

I called NHS direct, nurse called my back within 20 mins advised me to get the OOH Drs and not to drive, got in a taxi walked straight in they then sent me down to MKGH A&E they wanted to call an ambulance for a trip off 200 yards i said no longest 200 yards i've walked and went in to A&E at around 12:00 am and there was my ex-wife waiting to be seen i was taken straight round to a cubicle and by 4:30 i was in the ward 11:45pm i was having my appendix out.

to say i was scared was an under statement but the care i recieved was beyond the call of duty for the nursing staff overworked and underpaid same with the DRs they made feel relaxed and noting was to much trouble.

I can't praise them enough the only problem was not being able to drive for a week.

however in all place's you get good guys and bad guys and all i can say if you're not happy ask for a 2nd 3rd opinion and don't stop until you're happy and satisfied even if it means going to the top.

just glad you're feeling Better Bob

Dazza  :D

P.s. Top tip don't upset you're Nurses they're your best friends and can make you suffer if you upset them in the nicest possible ways :twisted:

I know there's good & bad in the NHS, as there is everywhere.

On a personal note, I must admit a partial amount of bias towards the NHS,as it employs me.
I must say that  I'd trust most of our departments senior staff; Staff Grades, Registrars, Specialist Registrars & (most certainly) the Consultants with my life

Like BTM I am biased towards N.H.S. 'cause they pay me.
Don't have any trouble with G.P'S....my wife is a receptionist at the surgery.
Only problem....when she comes home in tears/distressed state 'cause
some irate patient has decided to vent his/her spleen at her over a
situation that she can not control or do any thing about.
Rant over :(vamp):

At the Surgery where I went as a kid, the receptionist there must have survived an attack by StGeorge.
Ooh, she was evil :twisted:

Tell me about it...
The patients in our A&E can vary between the little old lady who cut a finger off whilst peeling vegetables, but says;
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to trouble anyone"

To the drug-addled 20year old who's been found on a corner (or in some cases slumped over the wheel of a car!!!!)who wakes up and creates mayhem & ends up on the floor with all the male staff 'controlling' him :evil:
Then gets dragged away by the Bobbies only to 'fall' into the back of the van.
It's not too long since one of our Nurses was punched in the face & throat by a drunken girl (who, I think) is now in jail :D
Not a weekend goes by without someone being abused in one way or another

Then we had, the ultimate, a few years ago.
It was well before I worked there, but plenty of my collegues remember it.
I know the person who found them.
A patient went to see 2 of the Plastic Surgeons about having some tattoos removed, he was told that he couldn't have them done on the NHS (at that time anyway)
So what did the b*st*rd do??
He stabbed both the initial Consultant, & the other one who walked into the room.
Sadly he's got 'the life of riley' now in Broadmoor.

String the swine up!
Hardly politically correct, but it's my own view.
