The NHS

If you take a look at the Scandinavian country's or perhaps the Swiss , Belgian or Dutch who spend far more on health care than the UK they do not invade other countries or possess weapons of mass destruction î

Wonder what the wage is for a new surgeon in the nhs ......plus bonus etc ......but im damned sure if it was no good there wouldnt be any left in this country.......but i believe they can earn 200000 plus ...which is not bad .....the nhs will never be fully funded it is a bottomless pit......cappy

Hi Cppy.
They would have been better off training as football players, look at all the lives they save stopping all those people in the stands from depression. no wonder they get their millions.

My GP here in Oz had three new doctors sent to him to valuate as they were from overseas. After two days he sent them back to the authorities and they will now have to spend up to two years in a teaching hospital to bring them up to Oz standards.

On the last cruise a call went out to the passengers for blood donors, a good few came forward.
One of the passengers had a burst stomach ulcer and was bleeding badly.
We were on our way to Freeo on the return and due in at 0600 hours.
The skipper put the ship into full speed and we arrived at 0100 hours.
The passenger was taken to hospital and by all accounts is doing well.

On the BBC news this morning, a small video of a guy selling his NHS medication on eBay !!!, I suspect a lot more of that going on, kt

[Captain Kong]

A certain race of people here, go to their doctor`s of the same race, he gives them a prescription of Gigantic proportions they go to the chemist next door ,, get a BIG box and then go next door to the Post Office and it is posted to the village in the Mid East.
This happens regularly, my mates wife works in the Chemist shop and watches them do it daily
We are keeping the entire mid east and sub continent in medication. Costing us countless Millions.

If you complain you are called a racist.

I believe in India all the medication that you may need is readily available at one tenth the cost we pay here,maybe cheaper to send them the money rather than the price of the parcel.

If you take a look at the Scandinavian country's or perhaps the Swiss ,

Nobody will invade the Swiss because they are very frightening!!!!!!!!!, when I was working in Switzerland/Pakistan for a Swiss company, the Swiss it appears convinced themselves (and tried to convince me) that the Germans did not invade them in WWII because they (the Germans) would be beaten and repelled. The Germans lack of invasion had nothing to do of course with Switzerland being a safe haven for everyone's ill-gotten gains..............perish the thought! They really did believe they were invincible

What has this to do with health care ????
