Just to put the record right Danny. I wouldn't return to UK for ANY medical reason thank you. I gladly pay around 200 quid a month med insurance. I see a doctor within hours of ringing one. I see a dentist in the same time bracket. Medical systems only work when everyone pays in. I used to remember, when I was a kid in UK, dentists and doctors appointments were easy to get, and the NHS was really the envy of the world. It still is, because it's free !!! So third world countries and some other countries too, aren't too upset when their citizens pop over for some med treatment.
I have a niece and a nephew who both work in the NHS, she's a nurse, and he's on the IT side. So I get a gist of what's going on mate. You can keep it. I'll stick with paying and getting good treatment, you can have the free system.
Must be strange having doctors and nurses who can't speak the Native language, and people dying of de-hydration while in hospital mate.
I'm not slating UK, just thankful that I have a choice of medical care. Love UK, but wouldn't like to live there now. I'm at an age where I like to feel safe.
