The UK is a joke

Roswell

I called up my GP surgery at 8AM as they say to do so, and got an engage dial constantly for the next hour and a half upon repeated attempts to call (I tried again every 5 minutes). Then at 9.30AM, one hour and a half after they advertised for people to make appointments they FINALLY picked up the bloody phone, only for the receptionist to say call at 8AM.

I have a toenail that's turned purple and one of my fingers has lost most its sensation and isn't moving properly. I told them this. They said call 111. So I did. I went through a whole load of bureaucratic germanocracy. Then I was told maybe my problem wasn't serious, but go see the pharmacist on this street.

So I did. When I got there, I was told by the receptionist the pharmacist will see you in 10 minutes. I waited 20, no sign of them. It was in a supermarket, this pharmacy, so the security guard was watching me eagle-eyed thinking why is this guy stood there for so long? So I panicked and couldn't wait anymore and left. So much for healthcare in the UK.

  • I've found the NHS a joke ,all 4 of my children have been mis-diagnosed or neglected ,2 could of died ,i got 15 k compensation once .

    My mother they said had a stroke and would die within 24 hours ,so there was no point in treatment,she walked out of hospital 10 days later. my father they said had picks disease and sectioned him and locked him up ,he was just autistic .

    There are alot of kind people in the nhs ,but alot of bad doctors ,who don't like to think they don't know the answer so just guess.

    We have one of the highest death rates in the world
