anyone got faith in the NHS?
 

OK so i saw paramedics that didn't spot my collarbone busted in 3 places, i got to my local hospital (walsall manor) and had my arm put in a sling for 6 weeks, i was then told all had healed and i could star physio, while doing the physio i notices my collarbone was still moving in 2 separate ways? so i go back for the doctors to say "yep its still broke come back in 4 weeks" so i go back today have another 2 xrays thats 10 altogether and one doctor says its still broken and one says its fixing? "come back in 6 weeks":smt103 anyhow ive got signed on back to work on the 3rd of December cus i'm peeved with sitting around home, who do you trust, it still feels broken to me:smt092

They've always been excellent for me :)
Worth shelling out for private investigation?

Can you not get a short circuit style robot to carry things for you instead? Why use your limbs when you can get something else to do it!

I'm biased because I'm a consultant in the NHS but I think we have the best medical training for our doctors and some of the worst managers/politicians in the world. I've worked in a few different countries in forming that opinion.
I could start grumbling about the NHS system but there's a character limit of 10,000 per post.
Overall I'd rather go under the knife here rather than elsewhere but I'd rather wield my knife somewhere else. If that makes sense.

Someone else who believes, as I do, that a chance to cut is a chance to cure. Mwwaaaaahahahaaa.

old man highsided at Lydden once when racing.

Broke his rib, went to hospital (after fixing bike and racing again that day :lol: )

Sent him home.

Few days later, his arms in agony, so he goes to the doctor. Gets rushed to hospital, he'd got gangreen in his elbow. Another 2 days and the arm would have had to come off!!!!!!!!

How the doctors missed a gaping gash in his elbow bemuses me....
