A member of my family was recently diagnosed (after referral to A&E by a nurse at her local NHS group practice) with incurable bowel/liver cancer after being told a couple of years ago by a nurse (nurses being the first and sometimes only port of call at this group practice that has 13 GPs) that her rectal bleeding was probably just a haemorrhoid, then told in a rare audience with a GP that it might be cancer but that he wasn't going to examine her or refer her for further investigation as it would be unpleasant. And no GP from the practice has deigned to make contact since the diagnosis. Would royalty have to settle for that? I doubt it.

And now these photos in the news of people queuing round the block to try to sign up as NHS patients with a new dental surgery. You'd think it was a third-world country. I was just reading recently about the creation of the NHS in 1948, when there apparently were dental vans touring around. Imagine that luxury now!

If people can't even see a dentist, where does that leave preventative cancer screening?

It's surely time to cut the meaningless "vote Brexit and we'll spend 350 million a week on our NHS" (not, hehe, as if) /"save our NHS"/"clap our NHS" crap and design a system fit for a supposedly first-world country (and not just for its millionnaire, billionnaire and Old Etonian population).[/quote]

Green Man	And now these photos in the news of people queuing round the block to try to sign up as NHS patients with a new dental surgery. You'd think it was a third-world country Isn't that racist? In America a lot dental care is free, for the lower classes there are pop-up marquees that people can go to. I am not sure it's free or donations but the Americans care about their smile and teeth. Not getting a dentist will a be a shock to them. I did a lot of teeth grinding during the night when I was younger. This was due stress from prison, work, a string of crap relationships. I have an overlap which I didn't treated, but it has gotten worse over the years. I was quoted over £15k to have it all done. I am still looking for a new vehicle, no such thing as a cheap runner these days. Over the lockdowns, GPs were telling patients to ask their friends and hairdressers to check moles. GPs wanted to photos of moles or injuries sent over the phone or Skype. Cancer is no longer rare! Eugenics is working. Sorry about your friend Jo!! When, I had the prostate checked, it wasn't the nice, the female GP got on with it and told me to hum a song. End of the Line (It's All Right), by Travelling Wilburys was very apt.

Liver cancer is the deadly one..my dear best friend died of it 5 years but thankfully went out on a morphine haze. Sitting on a chair on a drip for hours sounds boring. No wonder Tubs refused it and he told the doctors to give the medince to a kid. I'm intrigued but what is there to live for in this day in age?

God Save the NHS (contracted-out jobs for the Tories won't). Current F.B. meme, "'More Tory Cuts'...the poorly educated can't even spell now." Damned he does, damned he don't. If he used the NHS, people will complain about their income tax and bed blocking. People will go private if they can afford to. He is still a human FFS. I use to go privately and get private hospital treatment in Canada...cost a fucking fortune but I got the best!
