I had 2 appointments cancelled, just called to rebook and was told I could not be seen without a mask.
Asked the usual question about why: if the other people are wearing masks and have been vaxxed - are they not protected? Got an idiot health safety protocol spiel. This has to end.
Sorry, fren. If you have time, would you mind educating us yanks a bit about your NHS? I know the basics, that you all have NHS numbers and can go to a doctor or A & E (accident and emergency?) and be treated -- and then not pay anything because the system is supported by taxpayers. I think all of that is right and if not, please correct me.
Now my questions are -- are there still 'private' healthcare servers available? (To which if you go, you will naturally be double paying since you are taxed for NHS) Still wondering if there are any options like that and how plentiful they are.
Can ANYONE go to an NHS facility and not be charged? For instance, a foreigner there on vacation who gets appendicitis and needs surgery?
And what about all the people who are living there illegally? Do they get to go and not pay, as well? Are they issued NHS numbers/cards even though they are in the country illegally?
Is it true that people often have to wait months for service and things like surgery?
Overall, do you consider it a well run service? I hope you are successful if you follow through with a lawsuit (what a hassle though - but if you have a case, I do hope you'll move forward with it. I think that's where the bad guys win a lot, people just not wanting to be 'arsed' to take the time / hassle.)
And do you know roughly how much 7000 quid is in US dollars? Lol. :D
Thanks! I hope you'll keep us posted if you do file a suit.
I once asked an Englishman how many guid were in a pound, he was really confused by my question then finally answered " A quid is a pound! "
Oh, okay. I wondered if it might be a pound. Similar to how an American might say a dollar is a buck. :D Haha. If that's the case, I'm going to say it was somewhere around 10k she got. Thanks.
$1.37 :)
