why is health care so bad in britain?
i got very sick 2 years ago when all this swine flu paranoia, i sudenly got very ill, 41 temperature, my friend took me to emergencies and they refuse to see me(not even looking at me) and they send me home saying i had swine flu,i never understood how they can diagnose someone with something when they didnt check on you, next day my friend went to collect the tamiflu for me,2 days later i got even worse, ambulance refuse to come for me when i called then, 2 days later i went back to hospital and they refuse to see me again, i felt so fustrated that i booked a flight back home in spain, when i arrived in madrid hospital they check for everything,that same day they told me i had a really bad pneumonia, no trace of swine flu at all! and they couldn't belive that doctors refuse to see me in london. nurses speak no english, hospitals are FILTHY, i have never seen a hospital with carpet, just in london for the first time, scary isn't it? very high rate of infections due to lack of hygiene. what is wrong with this country?

Yes, Health Care in the UK is abyssmal, it really stinks there. It's because they fell for the Liberals who thought a country could provide Health Care to all. It doesn't work does it?

You complain about hygiene - yet you went into a hospital with a potentially contaigious disease, and you want them to put carpets down (which would allow bacteria to thrive and prevent proper cleaning of the floor) Also, you went to London. If you want to visit Britain then you need to go to a part of the country which isn't too 'busy' to talk to each other. Nothing is more depressing than watching a train full of businessmen so interested in their own business than the other human beings around them doing the same.

The Labour government of the time......... constantly fiddling, only to make things worse. Employing too many managers on crazy pay (Some even get paid more than the Prime Minister does), at the expense of clinical & cleaning staff............ and running all kinds of little scams to make it look like their health authority was meeting "targets" set by the then government. Got a few classic articles that should show you the kind of thing that went on: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280504/I-wouldnt-trust-hamster-Whistle-blower-lifts-lid-wildly-successful-NHS-trust.html http://conservativehome.blogs.com/platform/2009/09/dr-michelle-tempest-conservatives-are-the-only-remedy-for-the-nhs.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-188877/NHS-targets-cost-lives-patients.html http://conservativehome.blogs.com/leftwatch/2010/02/labours-nhs-targets-needlessly-cost-1200-lives-in-staffordshire.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1237888/NHS-target-time-exposed-sham.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196997/Hospital-patient-shocked-dirty-ward-climbed-bed-clean-herself.html
