70 years of our NHS. See the keyword I used there? "Our?" Because it's everyone's. It's help me and people I know in so many ways, I can imagine it's helped every TSR member in some way.
And I do not want the government to dismantle it. We the public, should not blindly let this happen. This government screwed our schools, our railways let's not let them screw the NHS any further.
Look how hard the nurses work, yet they go to food banks. Why?
There's a shortage of doctors in this country that they have to call supply doctors in. Why?
Waiting lists for patients are endless, most rarely get seen when they have a genuine condition. Why?
However, the government is not completely at fault. Members of the public have also been abusing the NHS. If people looked after themselves better, they would not get self inflicted illnesses and the NHS could focus on patients with genuine illnesses, such as a child with cancer.
Drunks, stumbling about the street on Saturday night, smashed their head on the pavement because they cannot be stable, due to the amount they drank. I understand this is apart of British culture but if they're going to get drunk on a Saturday night, or any night just sit down or something until they're stable. Don't roam the streets thats just asking for an accident.
Smokers. They damn well know, putting that cigarette in their mouth is doing them harm, it says it on the box yet they still do it. And they accept the NHS to treat them, because they harmed themselves?
I'm not saying these type of people don't deserve to be treated, moreover, they should pay for their treatment because it is self inflicted, they are aware of the harm they are doing. People with genuine conditions such as somebody with breast cancer are left unfairly waiting because these idiots cannot eliminate their bad habits, and are taking up hospital beds.
The NHS is falling apart. This is how we treat it after all it has done for us? I don't think we realize how lucky we actually are to have it.
Thank you NHS for everything
