The Myth of the British National Health Servi

[Gandalf]

It's an old thing I mentioned in the past, but it has been operated on at last. Nothing serious. I actually quite enjoyed this surgery as it was very simple. Even with national insurance it's another 135 pounds to pay. Then there was the 100 pounds for the previous weeks ultrasound. Then the original 14 pounds to see the doctor. It all adds up and this is just a very minor procedure. If you only have national insurance that's still a weeks wages for some. I am not grumbling though as I am very pleased with the quality of medical care out here. I've seen emergency rooms, had major surgery, minor surgery, seen it all; and saw first hand the excellent work people are doing. Walrus grumbles about the treatment of women, but nurses at the top hospitals earn really excellent money and they deserve it.
