i think a lot of the time people assume they know more than the doctors and nurses (obv unless they are a qualified doc or something), and our culture has taught us if we don't like what someone says, we should go find someone who says something else. Can you imagaine how it would be to be a new doctor with no reputation yet? you'd have no patients while the really successfull 'super docs' with good history and PR had a larrrge waiting list. Although maybe you could slip them a few quid and go to the front of the queue. hang on, isn't this the private and nhs we have already?
Private hospitals are cleaner and have nicer staff because they have a gazillion(not statistically correct) less patients and pay their staff more, cos they can just charge more. The NHS can only pay people what we pay them in taxes.
I'd hate to be a nurse (or a policeman) doing a job because it needs doing and they want to help people, getting underpaid and being called lazy cunts by the people that they are meant to be helping. doing their best in a system that isn't perfect coz it was fucked up by successive governments of both major parties.
