Im sorry that you had to suffer like that

Thanks me too. But im just one of many. Im not going to dwell on it. We are going on for 7 years since she passed and if I try to over think/analyse it then I just put myself in one of my dark moods. Just like the others on here I have my experiences of various NHS hospitals/GP's and even pharmacy giving out wrong (dangerously so) medication. Not even a "sorry". TBH I just don't trust the majority of them....but I would be happy to be proved wrong in the future.

If I had the cash I would never subject any of my family to the NHS. Which is a very sad statement IMHO.

Happy birthday, calmspirit & Tigerwhite hope you both had a lovely day. :bdaycake:
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, I spent it in Conwy, N Wales with family but missed 2 of my children & 2 gc who couldn't come. Got drenched on our Boxing Day walk over & around the Sychnant Pass but views and hot chocolate made it all worthwhile.

I'm fine thanks bubbs, missed you all, kept thinking I would get 5 minutes to pop in but just had to go on autopilot to get everything done. Especially after freezing the SS till in my local Ts getting a few packs of party food. I had it in my head it took off £3 for every 4 packs and not £4, pressed finish and pay and ended up being 20p in credit. :eek: Grabbed a bar of choc but was too late to scan anything else should have remembered (think it was) Miss Laid's tip when the OEP was glitching of doing a "sub total". :rotfl:

Bumped into Dodo Christmas eve at one of our locals and between us managed to get a few packs for her too. :T But we were both too late around 4pm for any reduced turkeys, no sign of any even full price ones.

..I wandered in to my local at exactly the right time!
They had severely over-stocked.
Got 3 big turkeys and three duck crowns - £115 down to £11.50, on top of the 11 free chickens from a couple of weeks ago I now have a very poultry 'stuffed' freezer!:D

Wow!! you both have had good bargains then, apart from going to my sis i hadnt really been out as afraid they wouldnt let us back with all the marlarky with the river, so no bargains for me

Have to agree with regards NHS if I had the money I would go elsewhere.

I was hospitalised for 6 months with placenta previa. One night a nurse tried to give me an injection to stop my blood from clotting. Even argued with me about it, saying I must take it. I spent half an hour explaining I would be dead by the morning if I had the injection. She just wouldn't listen, treated me like I was nuts.

I showed her my notes where it said I was losing lots of blood every night and explained I needed my blood to clot to survive it.

She flounced off in a huff saying it was my life.

Ooh, I've just had a parcel delivered - a beautiful posh Jo Malone candle, very fancy indeed. And no word who it is from!

It's sad reading the stories of people who have had bad experiences with the nhs. Here is a hug for you all :grouphug:
