In the olden days “medical moles” were considered a priority when it came to treatment. I remember having about 6 zapped from my back by the local GP. Even after I’d been told they were nothing to worry about, the doctor still insisted they be removed, so they were.
That was around the same time the medical profession here in the UK suddenly discovered that skin cancer wasn’t solely confined to Australia. It was all over the news, & any moles, even innocent ones, were welcome for destruction back then. I bet they were inundated with moles that year. A “Magnificent Mole Mountain,” now there’s a weird thought…
These days it’s a different matter, in fact it’s the total opposite. Over the past couple of years several rogue moles have appeared on my back again. To be fair, I’ve put off their dreaded introduction to the doctor for a while now. So today was the appointment whereby they were revealed, they itch a lot, so I was hoping for the same treatment as many moons ago.
Wrong. I was told that they don’t have the funding to do that anymore, & I’ll have to go private. I mentioned going to a specialist, but that’s off the menu too. I even felt sorry for the doc when her eyes dimmed as she told me.
Not that any of us needed evidence, Mr CaMORON has made a big deal out of cutting red tape & admin to save money in the NHS. (Sounded good at the time). Since then he’s made thousands of nurses redundant by cutting FUNDING, but forgot all about his “promise” of making the red tape redundant too. So the NHS is left cash starved with a shortage of staff who have more work to do than before. Just another failed policy to add to the list…
Today’s experience was DIRECT proof to me that David CaMORON is crippling the NHS. For all his wonderfully airbrushed speeches at the despatch box, (prepared by some idiot from the Health Secretary’s Department I assume). We all know his pathetic policies aren’t working, & haven’t done since he came to power, what power? After 3 years he still hasn’t shown us his balls yet…
In today’s world both DC & Obama must be two of the best speech makers since history began. Sometimes, profound to listen to, but full of empty words.
Meanwhile back in the real world, aside from all the other chaos DC has caused for us plebs. With ref to the NHS what does he care anyway?
On the planet that he and his ministers live on, they all go private & wouldn’t touch the NHS with a barge pole. “Andrew Lansley” is the minister for health here in the UK. I can see him now, here’s the prescription – or SCRIPT:
There he is, propping himself up at the bar in the house of commons. Whisky in one hand, fag in the other, pissed as a fart by noon. He’s waiting for his chauffer to take him to the “Upper Class Twit” golf club. Today’s “handicap” depends on a complex algorithm the likes of:
Number of single malt whisky’s consumed (by noon) + any double measures, times by number of patients refused basic treatment (by noon) that day.
Conclusion: His handicap means he’ll never be successful, (at anything), but it’s great fun firing balls into trees when you’re seeing double??? Best go see a doctor about that…
Meantime the chauffeur’s late because he’s stopped off for a pint on the way.
So while the health minister is still draped over the bar waiting. An undercover interviewer moves in & asks: “How well are your policies working for improving things in the National Health Service sir?”
Reply: “DUH, NHS?” I thought that meant “No Health Security?”
CORRECT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER…
