Sorry to hear about your friend's treatment. Amazing to think that is the state of UK in 2017.
I don't think the health system is like that here in Australia.
If anyone hasn’t seen the movie called “I, Daniel Blake” you should watch it, it’s not an exaggeration in anyway, that is exactly what happened to me, even the questions are the same
Me too man, this is when I wish I won the freakin lottery and hire Doug full time! Or better yet pay him to retire full time.
I’ve been homeless and begged and people thought I wanted it for drugs. God bless those two nuns that blessed me when I was at my wits end. Hang in there brother, the tide will turn soon.
Perhaps there a Calvary Chapel somewhere close to your home. These have blessed so many people here in the states.
The health service were fine, it was the DHSS/benefits office or whatever they’re called now that screwed up.
This was a man that drove aid convoy trucks through war zones, to get food and medical aid to people in need. But some civil servant in the UK who couldn’t be bothered do his job properly made my friends last weeks alive hell.
Sorry, don’t mean to derail Doug’s thread, this is all still a bit raw.
I presume you're talking about the developers, given that everything he reviews gets a rave rating. But if they pay him directly, someone will complain about conflict of interest. Not me--I'm happy just to hear what the features look like and what the presets sounds like. I don't care if it's paid puffery--I can see past that.
Does "I, Daniel Blake" end with him resorting to doing webcam sex chat? I hope this isn't where this is going. Not saying you might not be good at it though.
When all is said and done the uk has one of the most envied health care systems in the world.
I thought about trying to do some work similar but can’t jepardise Losing my disiabilty status.
I haven’t worked in 4 years, was on welfare for 2 years. Now I’ve been on disability for 2 years. I get $1000 cad a month. On welfare I got 640.
It took me being an advanced stage 4 cancer patient in treatment for over 2 years until they gave it to me. Lucky I had my mother here so share apartment with or else I would be fucked trying to live and pay rent on a grand while fighting lymphoma.
if I can send a few bucks anybody should be able to.
“I’m living proof you have no excuse” is one of my favorite sayings
Fuck diseases, I know how it is Doug
One day at a time
Maybe I should have said the benefits system or welfare system. I'm out of my depth here. My error.
I understand so much where your coming from man...
You’re an awesome workhorse sir.

Please, I haven’t had my breakfast yet.
Now I’m hearing that familiar voice saying “Welcome to the dildo test room.”
Nope

That's a joke, right? The UK NHS is on the verge of collapse. Even the best thing you can say about it - that it's free - is being eroded and paid services snaking in. And then there's the dentist shortage - where people are pulling out their own teeth as there are no NHS dentists available. Essential mental health services for kids - non existent in some areas due to 'lack of funds'.
Good to start the morning with a decent gag. Envied by third World countries maybe, but it's not the service it was 30 years ago.
Hardly a joke it would be hard to find a survey that didn’t put the uk in the top 25 in the world and there’s surveys that put it at number one.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/jul/14/nhs-holds-on-to-top-spot-in-healthcare-survey For example.
Based on one survey by 'Commonwealth Fund health thinktank'. If this is true for every survey taken, then I dread to think how bad the others are. Anyone can post a link to support an arguement, here's one from this morning: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/13/conservative-governments-kill-people-health-disability-benefits-prisons
And I could find another 20 from the same source from the last month that paint a completely different picture to the one you're painting.
Here's one from another source for you: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-world-ranking-uk-healthcare-worse-ireland-spain-slovenia-30th-lancet-a7744131.html "NHS is 'worse than healthcare in Ireland, Spain and Slovenia' in new global ranking. UK scores total of 84.6 out of 100, placing it on an equal footing with Cyprus, Qatar, Malta, Portugal and the Czech Republic"
Yes, in some areas it's a great service, but we have something over here called 'the postcode lottery', which means that in some areas it's worse than Victorian (or non-existent), while others (usually in the South East of England) get a service akin to private healthcare. I'd like to see the Commonwealth Fund health thinktank run a survey based entirely on say, the healthcare systems in Mid or South Wales and see what results they come up with there.
Personal experience over the years, along with others, and friends who work in the NHS show a system that is on the verge of total collapse. Which of course is what they want, so they can sneak their mates private healthcare firms in to do the job. Like all the other public services setup to support the most vulnerable, it's being run into the ground.
This is a survey by The Guardian, not exactly purveyors of universal truth.
There are excellent people working within the NHS, and stuff like the 6 hour surgery I had in March is free. In the US that might’ve cost me my house. But, as MonzoPro explained, the system is in dire straits.
I won’t bother with the gory details. Suffice it to say that my pre and after care has been - and remains - a struggle, sometimes life threatening. I had to change GP, because my original doctor got me into this mess by negligence, and her GP partner pulled strokes like sending me to A&E for six hours, when the info required had been lost by his staff, and could’ve been obtained by one phone call. Today, my partner is doing what nurses should do daily, due to lack of resources!
Again, I must stress that a lot of good, caring folk employed by the NHS are doing the best they can. But among them are rogues and incompetents, plus a whole lot of very expensive agency staff, there for the money. The system, once great, has been deliberately rigged and eroded. And not by just one political party. These days, the major players are just two sides of the same bent coin.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.
I agree, the NHS can provide a wonderful service, but the quality of that service - and whether you can even get it - depends very much on where you live.
I'm not going to, but I could now post a dozen little stories of experiences of my friends and family that would make your hair curl. In some instances, negligence has killed people I love. In others, ruined their lives for ever. I could post a few quotes from friends working in the service that would have you running to throw up in the bathroom, and vow never to go near a hospital again. But I won't, the thread's derailed enough as it is.
Yes, the service is a wonderful thing for some, maybe even a majority, but it should be wonderful for everybody. It needs better management and more cash.
@Zen210507 highlights a very important issue: the service is let down by pre and after-care problems. As in his experience, me, my family and friends have all had problems with bad diagnosis or lack of service that have casued, or made health issues worse. And then after treatment, the back-up care isn't there. At the moment Mrs Monzo, after a full days work, is doing a four hour round trip drive to go and clean up, and look after her mum, who's terminally ill with cancer. Her mum's been waiting two months for urgent treatment, which the doctor said should have been provided after a week. She's got cancer because checkup appointments were cancelled, and symptoms missed when they happened. She's not had surgery because staff are off sick. She doesn't get after care because they don't have funds to provide what she needs. Etc.
I'm glad your experience was more positive, unfortunately that's not always the case. But excusing mistakes in the service by saying "You get good and bad everywhere in all industries" doesn't help. This isn't dodgy iPads we're taking about, it's peoples lives.

Swings and roundabouts for me. The NHS saved my life, for which I am extremely grateful. I was apparently about a week from croaking. But then, if my GP had done her job, I would never have been in such danger.
This isn't dodgy iPads we're taking about, it's peoples lives.
Quite right. Very sorry to hear about Mrs Monzo’s Mum. I nursed both my mum and dad through terminal cancer, so I do know what the stress is like.
I’ve always been a glass half full kind of bloke. But seriously, there have been times this year when if it wasn’t for my other half, I might’ve jacked it in.
Compared to many, I’m doing okay, and see it as a challenge to get my life back. Sometimes it’s the bloody mindedness that keeps me going. And music, and Doug’s cheery, always enthusiastic videos.
Thanks, we've got the Monzo Jnr. stuff to cope with too at the moment so I'm very worried about Mrs Monzo - the pressure she's under is immense. She's holding it together, but if the fuckers who are supposed to be providing support did their job, we wouldn't have so much to deal with.

Forgive me if you’ve already tried this, but have you contacted your local hospice? While both parents spent much time at home, our local hospice was immensely helpful. They got us a Care Manager, through whom we eventually got daily carer help. They also provided respite and palliative care when necessary, and arranged a schedule of Marie Curie and MacMillan nurses to help out.
Good luck, mate.
@MonzoPro I hope things work out for your son, wife, and mother in law. Lives of people in too many healthcare systems are being treated liked limited shelf life consumer electronic products with little accountability for those responsible for managing them. The public will need to unite behind reforms to reverse these trends rather than turn upon each other in partisan bickering which creates a lot of heat from friction but little consensus or solutions for real world life/death circumstances.
Thank you. Yeah we've looked into all the options, she has a nurse each day to help with the medical related stuff, but there's a problem with getting a regular general carer apparently at this stage. So Mrs Monzo has to do all the shopping, cleaning up and whatnot. I'm not sure of the reasons why. I think in a few weeks though when her condition will probably be a lot worse, they'l be forced to provide the other help - either that or she'll go into hospital or a hospice.
Thanks - I think there's a big issue with pre and follow up care though. It doesn't attract the support and funding of other stuff such as operations, and in many cases lack of diagnosis, or bad follow up care makes things worse.
We're constantly shocked at the lack of cohesion in the NHS. One department doesn't know what the other is doing, they don't pass on important information to other agencies (hence my friends eviction notice) which create additional stress and problems for those needing support. In nearly every instance of dealing with hospitals we've found ourselves having to connect and manage departments and organisations, that aren't communicating with each other.
We're always patting ourselves on the back at how clever we are that we can have a computer the size of a fag packet, but we're not able to provide a holistic (not in the hippy sense) approach to a total care system that incorporates welfare and other social care, as well as hospital treatment. This would help people like Doug too.

I would have considered this option if I was younger and single
