Please please use your voice to raise these issues. I have so many similar stories to tell, and like you feel so frustrated with where we are as a country at the moment. I’ve decided to be more involved helping charities and do what I can every day to help those people around me. Sadly, I think this winter’s fuel crisis will bring so many more challenging stories. Thank you for your honesty…
My niece had a cancer scare recently - took longer than usual to get biopsy etc but that was fine. Only it's not cancer, so now she's on a non-essential list for getting the tumours removed. But they are still pressing on nerves and she's in a lot of pain but they've taken her off the heavy painkillers she was on when they thought it was cancer because they are highly addictive. So... she just gets to be in a lot of pain indefinitely.
It is so nice of you that you unfolded this problematic issue, actually is more necessary at nowadays world. Many people are stiff suffering and sadly and how bad of us that we do not aid these poor people although it is our sacred duty to do so .
Could not agree more. Not only does my husband work for the NHS, my own tales of woe are similar to the extent I actually ran away from the hospital 24 hrs post a major operation. I literally didn’t feel safe there. When they sent me to a hospital psychiatrist to be checked out (routine for people who unplug their own drips and run away apparently 😂) he said after 20 mins of hearing my story that he’d be sectioning me if I HAD NOT run away. I’m in the US this week and other countries still see our NHS as a beacon of “getting it right” but I wouldn’t agree at the moment; the NHS is broken.
