un X rays cant tell all.
Or Docs cant navigate with um.
There is 'probably' a shard of glass in my right foot. Cos of a shadow on an X ray. An exploritory operation could not find it. But the thick deep tight scar tissue that resulted.means that when cutting couple of my toe nails it is riskilly painfull.
ive got ( so the experts tell moi) an horrific scar on my left eye ball too. But just not impressive ( tho I was near blinded) . I kinda feel I missed out not breaking an arm or a leg or done myself an injury running with scissors ( indeed is there a recored insident of any1 being injured as a result of of 'running with scissors'?).
But yeah quibble about diagnosis not price
As for wot NHS is...go check out the comments and opinions on Obama's healthcare reforms in the US... he is being called ( in some circles) a Nazi who wants to kill off terminally ill people. The funniest bit tho .... was a suggestion from an americian right wing political commentator ( claiming that US healthcare better than others and in this case UK's) that if Steven Hawkins ( he was at the time about to recieve the Presidential Freedom Medal--big thing btw) had he lived in England he would have been left to die cos it would be too expensive to care for him.
Now as we know, and Prof Hawkin had to point out, whilst his voice synth has a US accent, he is British and for the last 40 years has been recieving very very expensive medical treatment from the 'socialist NHS' and that was only reason he was still alive.
Locky u right medical treatment isnt free in this country, but its 'virtually' free if we dont notice we paying for it. Its like all them direct debits we dont notice.
If every1 did their best and sorted out their best deal for mobile phone. broadband, car, house insurance etc etc then went on un took an interest in the rest of world around, then life would be cheaper, not free, but cheaper. But we DONT.
Un go ask your MP if the NHS should be 'national' indeed is it? Would we better served if it was split , on a regional or age or gender or on medical condition lines? ooo that more than enuff
