Don't come to Louisiana.  Between the Feds and our Illustrious Governor, who wants to be Mitt Romney's running mate, they're eviscerating Medicaid.  There are NO public mental hospitals in New Orleans.  The closest one is about 30 miles away, with no public transportation.  They're closing it and sending the patients 200 miles away to Northern Louisiana for treatment.  They're also going to cut treatment for women with breast cancer and cut the funding for the LSU Medical Center by 40%.

They are utter cunts.

Also,  they are planning to take DLA off people who have lost limbs.  Providing they have a prosthetic one, that is.  Apparently, those ill fitting, cheap, plastic body bits they churn out in 'tango orange tan' mean you aren't disabled anymore.

Bastards!  They take from the poorest, weakest and most disadvantaged in our society.

I will end now,  before i go off on one....

yeah I was at an OCD thing the other day and other people there were talking about their ATOS interviews. I have one next week too. I wish theyd just make their fucking mind up. In the last year I must have had letters and surveys and stuff telling me they might be changing my money about 10 different times. Just make a fucking decision and stick to it for at least a yaeer ffs!

and QV, the american healthcare system sounds pretty scary. my relative who's married to an american doesn't think much of it lol (they live over there)

Depends on the state.  Massachusetts, health care is pretty damn accessible (MA has had "Obamacare" for years; it predates him considerably).  Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, mind, but from what I've seen, people in neighboring states often move to MA just for the health care.

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)

I think foreigners think that the nhs here is fucking awesome.  Free, yeah it is free, or should i say was free,  there are already some services that require payment.

Basically,  the leeches are free :tard:  if you require anything more complex, or more advanced, then you get stuck on a list for several years, if you don't die during the wait then you can actually choose now which hospital!  How fucking cool is that?  You can go to your local salmonella hospital or a big city 'c diff' hospital.   As Lestat said,  you will be lucky to get a drink! dammit you will be lucky to get a bed!

The nhs is a shambles.  It was slowly getting a little better until the tories took over.  They are only interested in raping and selling off public services.  Not sure if it can be saved now.  It needs a massive injection of folding!  RIP nhs.   :grrr:

No, no. Let them be given a watch, a blade of their choice, and enough of whatever medication they are on to survive one full year be trained in survival techniques and given the same basic survival kit, fishing line and hooks, water sterilization tabs, enough rations to allow survival for one week. let the hunters be given one of theirs.

What use is Medicaid anyways? My mom tried getting doctors to accept it or use it.... but apparently in the Chicagoland area.... its not useful for certain areas..... Certain areas my foot!

And fucking disrespectful of property at times too.

Can't believe what happened the other day....I was sitting there in town, with my new glass bong. Accidentally broke the downpipe....had a half oz or so of 'black mamba' smoking blend. Basically an inert herb carrier, mullein or possibly mugwort from the looks of it, if I know my herbcraft anywhere near as well as I think I do, thats been chopped up fine and sprayed with a solution of a synthetic cannabinoid, pretty sure its AM-2201, 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-napthoylindole. A little short-acting, but bloody hell is it ever potent stuff. Idiots picked up that, which was outside my bag, and ended up FUCKING LOSING IT! Despite my telling them to give it me back. And I didn't need an ambulance either, it just turned up and basically they started fucking me around.

Last time I checked, being a little pale, having not smoked any weed for some time, and having a ravenous case of the munchies, was NOT something that requires paramedics to turn up. They could have spent that time attending an emergency. I sure as hell didn't ask for anybody, nor did I need anything other than to find a drain to pour my bong water out so I could put it back in my bag, then head to the nearest macdonalds and get something sugary like a milkshake.

One bong of that stuff had me tripping HARD :D

Why would I chew off anybody's face?

I was under the impression that the urban legends regarding face-chewers, baby-skinners and dog-barbecueers were applied mainly to PCP. Never tried PCP myself, but I've had 3-methoxy- and 4-methoxy-PCP, as well as a hybrid between eticyclidine and deschloroketamine which I've enjoyed quite a lot, particularly the PCE/ket hybrid thingy. Never chewed off anybody's face so far.

The urban legend now about face-eating zombies centers around synthetic pot and "bath salts".
Title: Re: NHS
Post by: Lestat on August 02, 2012, 01:36:52 PM
I could possibly see it in some of those bath salt products. I wouldn't touch them myself, fuck only knows whats in there. What with the craze for para-substituted cathinones, starting with the incredibly unpleasant sounding methedrone and mephedrone, christ, there is just too much chance of something noxious like that turning up. The people behind them don't seem to have a decent grasp of stimulant SAR or toxicology.

I quite like some of the synthetic cannabinoids though, although its a better buy to get them in bulk and make a smoking blend yourself. Favourites so far are probably HU-210 (extremely potent full agonist at CB1, very long lasting although it does produce a very rapid tachyphylaxis. I smoked a joint laced with a tiny amount of this one and it almost put me flat on my back) and CP-55,940.

The blend I tried recently, that black mamba stuff, pretty sure its based on AM-2201. I think I will be getting some more of that when I get paid next along with my next order of 3-methoxy-PCP. Lol the effect smoking one bong of that had on me...that was pretty surprising to say the least. Although I do wish some well-meaning, but misguided soul had not called me an ambulance. Or at least that they would have listened when I told them the only thing that could be considered wrong, is a dry mouth and needing something sugary to eat. But no, they wanted to keep me in a hospital for hours before I saw a doctor, before I might be 'allowed' to eat what I had in my bag.

Losing my stuff, that really, REALLY pissed me off. Ended up just calling a cab and buggering off home.
