In the process of reading this article:

It makes for some uncomfortable reading but I think that it is relevant to most people on this forum in one way or the other.

Dodgy link!

It works when I click on it, not sure what's going on, my skillz appear to deficient!

I clicked on it and got the apple security centre, which according to this article doesn't exist and is malware.

Works fine for me (I'm on Chrome on a Mac).

Seems like your computer has been owned.

Rebuild time.

Assbandits. Just me then? Does that mean i've got mac aids? How do I check/get rid?....off to the mac thread...

Sadly, a lot of one's time in hospital is spent fighting small, silly battles, against an irksome and unnecessary bureaucracy. So bad was it in my early days at the new hospital, that I felt I was in the middle of a constant struggle with no one on my side.

This is the crux of the matter. This is what's wrong with the NHS, why it costs so much, why everything takes so long, and why it works so badly so much of the time.

I really wish the author would detail all the examples he found, so that politicians can see what needs fixing and leave alone what doesn't.

^ Good point, I don't think that this article is necessarily the right place for such an in-depth look at one man's experience with an under-performing healthcare provider. Hopefully he can write an in-depth article that looks specifically at this at a later date. However unfortunately in-depth sensible reviews would appear to wasted on modern politicians as they are only really interested in red top friendly sound bites and PR designed to make them look better to their core voters not actions and common sense reform.

sorry. i can't even get through the first bit of that.

Why? It's 1,800 words about his recovery, against 100 words referring to how "dangerous" cycling in London is supposed to be.

Because its about his recovery not about the NHS, sure he touches on problems within the NHS which made his recovery more difficult, if he had switched his focus solely to the NHS he would have gone of topic and the article would have become about his experience as a patient within the NHS not his ongoing recovery.

I am going to have to give it a proper read when I get home.

My experience of the NHS recently ranged from the utterly negligent uncaring disinterested twat of doctor who made a completely wrong diagnosis, to lovely supportive staff who treated me with compassion when I was screaming with agony, and swearing and muttering in a deluded opiate haze.

Good article. I don;t know how that person who 'kept him alive' whilst waiting for paramedics could do that, I am in awe of such a person. And of the writer for being here to tell the tale.

Heal up James (Moore), if you ever read this.

And you prancer.
