I must say that the NHS was (is) absolutely amazing. The teamwork at the Brompton was astonishing and so caring.
Some of the patients are so rude to the staff who just absorb it in a most loving way. They are doing this every day!
It certainly upgraded my appreciation and admiration of them.
I'm in agreement. It is far too easy to rubbish the NHS and criticise the system we have in place. Could it be improved, absolutely; however, I'd rather have it and know there is room to improve the system, than be without it. Furthermore, in my direct experience, I too have found the vast majority of the medical staff: caring, compassionate and professional. Most of the improvements are centred around the bureaucracy, administration, budgeting and operational side - not the medical staff. In my experience, those who find fault with the entirety of the NHS haven't spent extended periods of time in a country that lacks publicly funded healthcare.
