The Retirement Thread

The NHS is getting worse. You can hardly get an appointment to see a Dr here.

Same here.

Same here.

I think we would have a better chance of breaking into fort Knox than seeing a Dr in this area.

Sad isnt it, that its come to this.
We were/are a fortunate generation and until recent years had no problems getting to see a Doctor or into casualty. Nowadays, as you say, its very difficult.
TBH my surgery is very good but there are so many nightmare stories out there.

It is sad and i hate to think what it will be like in the next 10 years

I think sometimes an appointment with the Pope would be easier. Our surgery is geared to those who can go and wait outside the door at 10am in the hope, which is fine if you do not have a job or not too ill. They do run an out of hours emergency system in Louth 20 miles away without a bus service.

Hopefully a lot better, fingers crossed but do not hold your breath.

We have Shrop Doc here, but using 111 tel number takes ages to get through and they are loathe to send an ambulance out to people. It is easier to just call an ambulance.

Can't and won't fault the local A&E's, there's two who work in them know my username on here. They may read this at some stage, when it gets quiet.

Been in too often over the years.

It has been a windy day here. Washing done and hanging on the line.

Lose much of it?
Still got all your knickers?

 

[172traindriver]

Too much information. You will be giving @172traindriver palpitations.

She already has

 

[172traindriver]

Never judge a book by its cover.
It was spot on.
None of yer silly northern fixation on 't creamy head' down 'ere.

You'll upset our resident Yorkshireman

 

[172traindriver]

Anyone else see anything odd about the fire?

Not much of it?

 

[welsh dragon]

All present and correct thank you.

 

[172traindriver]

I always use red, I don't like brown sauce,

Agreed with the red sauce

 

[172traindriver]

Heathen!
Brown sauce - HP of course - is the only legitimate sauce on a bacon buttie!


Hang on........ haven't we been here before?

There were no winners last time either
