The NHS have been great to me from the cleaning staff right upto the ward sisters, i really cannot complain. I have a CT Scan every 3 months making sure the cyst isnt growing again and i see a consultant every 3 months for the results.
Glad to hear you are better now, Alan.

Yes, the medical expertise and indeed some other parts of the NHS work very well indeed. The problem is the bits that don't - the administration, the lack of good computer systems with over-reliance on paperwork, parts of the NHS that are not linked to other parts so that your medical information isn't available to the practitioner you are seeing, the top heavy management structure, restricted hours in doctor's surgeries (leading to undue pressure in A&E) - the list goes on and on.

This will take time to fix, but fix it we must.
