The NHS - not so bad!

Those of you living in the UK will sometimes take part in the age old pastime of NHS bashing, I am sure!

However, two weeks ago, the wife of one of our workers was having difficulties breathing, he took her to hospital, where they put her on Oxygen, kept her in for 2 nights, diagnosed a highly irregular heartbeat, told her she couldn't do any strenuous work (including washing clothes) and let her go.

The bill for all this was came to more than 4 months wages for the guy.

How can people here afford health care?

The answer is they can't. They often wait and hope and get worse.

So be grateful for Nye Bevin and the NHS!!
