Fucking NHS. At least it it IS free. Just got out of one of their hospitals...seizures and finding it so difficult to breathe I thought that was the day I was gone.
Yes, they will save a life when they can do, but they are slower than frozen dogshit sliding off a stick in everything, and I MEAN everything else. Ask for a drink? be prepared to be told sure....in quarter of an hour....non emergency call for a doctor? unless you are actually in the ER under constant observation then you are going to spend at an hour asking, then a further half hour minimum before somebody finally actually does get you one...
I hate hospitals, massive overload no matter what, and hey, constant bright, blinding fucking light..I did warn them...had to walk on the fucked up, badly fucked up knee I got in there (knee collapsed, made me fall, and seized at the same time while in there, took the fall right onto my bad kneecap)
