Babyblue: Sorry to hear about your problem giving blood. I would love to give blood but they rejected it last time. I'm trying to sort out a health problem right now. After which I will offer up my blood again.

What I mean by DIY healthcare is when you are sick but you don't bother contacting a doctor. Either because you can't afford one, you don't think they will be much use, or simply don't like the idea of waiting four hours in an A and E. So you simply try to make do without one. Just...

I'm deafblind, and yes I do get stopped by the police sometimes but drinking isn't usually their concern. It seems some people over react when they see a deafblind person taking a wrong turn. They call the police!

That's really terrible!

Me neither.

Yes, I've noticed that too. I don't believe that the increase of cancer is just due to age. I think it's something else.

I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. I wish you luck with his recover. (hugs)

No, they shouldn't do it to pedestrians. Only to drivers who are clearly drunk and have been proven to be drunk first.

I would like to meet Sarah Palin.

I don't think it's due to living longer. My mom died of cancer in her 60's. That seems to be the general age that people get cancer at, yet people have been living into their 60's for centuries past. I know some younger people who had cancer too althrough the woman I knew who had cancer...

Oh Dear, That sounds scary. Not much fun to be old under Obama.

Souggy: It varies from area to area, it varies from hospital to hospital. Sometimes the same hospital can start off not being too bad, then for some reason the same hospital ten years later takes a nose dive. I don't know what the health care is like up in scotland or Ireland is like. I can...

When you have cancer there should not be a wait time. But there was when my mom had cancer. Also some eye conditions can get worse very rapidly so if you are required to wait you could have gone blind by the doctor sees to you. I think care for the elderly is very bad in UK. That's what...

I don't know who those satisfied with the NHS are but they are not my friends. I had a friend who died from the drug she was getting for her arthritis. I have another friend who's son has been written off as a hypocondriac. They won't look at him even when he clearly has a physical problem...

That's true, but there are people who feel the same as you do but they simply can't afford to pay. They are the ones that are going to lose out because at the moment they are on medaid.

Hello and welcome! I'm also from England. From Birmingham.

So what you are saying is that Nationalized health service is ok as long as you don't have to use it much. I get the picture. The problem is that the people with complex health needs also have a right to be seen to, and some of them simply can't afford to go privately. Chances are in USA...

Deaflissa: I've lived in Birmingham, Stafford, Stoke-on-trent, Peterbough, Doncaster, and Hereford. I've also been to a hospital in London although I never lived there. The care does varies. My worst experiences are in Birmingham and stoke on trent. My best hospital experiences...

Well if they were using public transport for this demonstration, maybe they only just realised that more of it should be available. That still doesn't make them hypocrites. I think public spending should be used on things that help the environment such as public transport and people who...

Well they didn't rush to help mom. She was put on a waiting list even though she had cancer. By the time she was seen to, it was too late. If they had caught the cancer in time they could have given her a hysterectomy and she would have been alive today, but they made her wait. The cancer had...
