Mini Rant / Vent

Plastic

I'm getting so sick of dealing with NTs.       The staggering incompetence and the perpetual, easily provable lies.     The promises that they don't keep.       The sloppiness in everything they do.

I was discharged from hospital about 6 weeks ago - and it's just a catalogue of incompetence throughout.

I've been suddenly told I need more biopsies but they couldn't organise a drinking party in a brewery.

The instruction has come from the head guy - I'm sure he's an undiagnosed aspie - but all the NT minions and underlings just can't get it together.

What's also REALLY annoying is that they did an identical biopsy while I was in hospital and they could have done these at the same time - I was there on the table, the team were doing it - all it would have taken was 2 minutes and a thought-out plan from the doctor.      Instead, I know how painful this will be (it's not a surprise now like 7 weeks ago) so I'm freaking out.    I'm having great difficulty with the concept of laying on a table and exposing my body again for someone to then hurt me - a lot!       Why would I do that? 

And their NT procedures say I've got to have another covid test -  even though the last was -ve and we've been 100% shielding since - and the result won't be back before the procedure so what's the point?    Morons.

    This is what happens whenever Healthcare is inextricably linked with Government.

    Exactly - no real accountability, their job doesn't depend on positive outcomes and it's not them being messed around.    In the worst case, 'lessons will be learned' - until the next time.

    Still, everyone claps for the NHS......

    Sounds very frustrating. I hope you can find something to comfort yourself with before the next operation. 

    And it's good to vent, so good on you for doing it.

    I agree the NHS is flawed. I believe healthcare should be affordable or free for people who need it but the NHS is too unaccountable. The Swiss and Dutch from what I understand have a better system. They can get it subsidised there as well but different private companies compete to provide the care, and the government regulates them well to fight corruption.

    Thanks - I just hope they give me a little extra meds to make me less acutely aware of what's going on.

    Christ, that's an awkward situation! I suppose having a few shots of rum before going would be out of the question too. 

    Hang on in there, we're all rooting for you here.

    They will only do light sedation - my lungs have so many clots that they're worried I'll die on the table so the procedure can't happen with full sedation.       I've explained all of my autism problems and that if someone can talk to me about any subject - as fast as possible to keep my mind diverted and less able to focus on the pain, I should be able to do it - the need for data is far more important that my short-term psychological damage.

    I've never been so terrified in my life.       I know exactly how much this is going to hurt - and they're probably going to do it 4 or 5 times in one go.

    The painting will keep me from sitting crying all day.
