NHS none existent:
The more I speak to people and the more I try and gain help myself, the more I learn that we don't have healthcare access like we should, anymore.
People can't make appointments to be x-rayed like they used to and wait lists are years long with a lot of gatekeeping when people attempt access to services.
If the dentist crisis wasn't enough, people are having to resort to YouTube videos and to do things themselves instead.
It's absolutely heartbreaking when people are being treated less than they deserve, when access is reduced and it's the same for those with disabilities, I walk on a dislocated pelvis, surgery denied and gatekept and still waiting to hear about the rheumatology department I was supposed to be referred to.
People are forced to get on with it until things escalate and become life threatening they are told they don't matter.
Long waiting times, ten hours plus, in accident emergency and I don't understand why or when things started to shift so badly.
Access to healthcare means they can be treated and stay in employment, keep the cogs in the machine turning and at this rate plenty are and have lost their jobs.
A lot of people are getting into debt and finding alternatives to income to cover pain management or private treatment because money is the only thing that talks and grants people access.
What is our government going to do about this and is it still on the agenda to privatise more of the NHS so people will have even less?
111 are not the source of support they should be and plenty of people are treated abysmally and spoken to poorly by people in the "care" industries.
When did we stop caring?
Why?
What can be done to rectify this?
How much more does our country folk need to suffer and how many more rights do they need to lose before people wake up and work together to problem solve instead of spewing hate and changing nothing online?
Food for thought.
