Actually my marriage break up was the thing that helped the most. Not blaming the ex or anything but it was having two kids to look after on my own that was a big shock to the system so I had to forget about my issues and focus on the kids. 8 years later and we are plodding on and very happy 😊 You are a fighter & a star mate 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a political football these days, and little to do with 'helping people'. I have direct experience in the last week of how the health system in UK and East Asia is different. I agree . The NHS is very broken . As a recently retired Nurse , I know first hand . In some cases Managers have got their priorities all wrong , wasting money on wrong things . I do ,however , think some GPS are still taking advantage of the Covid situation ,but they need to move on & get back to normal . Actually see patients face to face . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is ridiculous I meant in context to your comment "GPS are still taking advantage of the Covid situation, but they need to move on & get back to normal. Actually see patients face to face ." Doctors can't do the basics like measure blood pressure online. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you 🙏 Actually, on the plus side those 25 will probably benefit from a better consultation as the Doc may spend longer with them.
