Is that something you had to go the US for or a treatment that eventually came here?

A top specialist hospital in London got them from the US as at that time the UK had nothing as technologically advanced as the devices they got from the US were far more advanced and thus because of that l am thankfully still here nowadays.

Did the NHS pay for it?
And yes they are more advanced and that's good for all of us. Few would deny the US has some of the smartest people working on well-funded research. It just these experiments are not the day to day reality of US healthcare treatment.

The top London hospital as far as l know got their funding for these devices from the NHS although they do regularly get considerable donations from heart foundations and charities as well to fund their ground-breaking work..

Quote:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) in a Monday morning interview said there is no evidence former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos met with President Trump, despite a widely-disseminated photo of the two sitting around the same table for a meeting.
“If Papadopoulos was such a major figure, you had nothing on him, you know, the guy lied,” Nunes told “Fox & Friends.” “As far as we can tell, Papadopoulos never even knew who — never even had met with the president.”
Papadopoulos, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, is included in a photo that shows then-candidate Trump and then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) sitting at opposite heads of a table.

Such an eye for detail and accuracy...

A friend of mine (now living/working in Winchester) was a British Citizen with a Green Card, married to a US citizen, working as a CIO in the USA with a NASDAQ company, with a great company medical insurance, but when he was diagnosed with MS, he had to come back to this country, as even with his top of the range package, his co-pay would be $50-70k per year, and that didn't include the limits of payments (so if his treatment went over $500k per year (and it was likely to), he would have to pay the top up (probably around $200k per year)).
He gets it all for free here in the UK, but it split up his marriage, as his wife was a Senior Exec in a Silicon Valley company, and she couldn't be based in the UK (they're still friends, and see each other once or twice a year).

You hear those kind of stories a lot. People who've done everything right, who've saved and done well for themselves who are still one incident away from being close to disaster. No matter how much you save few can handle bills of $200k a year.
Student loans and healthcare completely ruin people's finances and in turn their lives in the US in a way neither does here. I really like America but they still seem extraordinarily callous in policy sometimes.

Thanks for the advice/commentary, Дональд, I think I'll stick with our "broke and not working" system...

Hmm, let me think, who was President in 2015?
Oh yes, that would be the EU referendum interfering, President Obama.
Was there a 'legitimate' reason for posting in Russian here?
This is an English speaking forum and ALL members should be posting in English as per the ToS.

I wonder why he didn't say that, then?
Apologies for posting Donald's name in Russian - I'll just call him "Russki Donald" from now on, to avoid confusion.

Why Russki, what 'legitimate' reason do you have for using Russian terms/language for Trump?
I get there is an investigation but after all this time, nothing has been found, except links to the DNC/Hillary Campaign and Russia via Fusion GPS and Steele.... which you are conveniently ignoring because it doesn't suit your narrative.

No one is saying otherwise. We’re talking about how crazy American healthcare is for the average person. A problem that started long before Trump and long before Obama.
The NHS has problems but people in the U.K. don’t stay awake at night wondering how they’re going to pay for their medical bills.

How about ‘Tricky Trump’? Or Thicko Trump? Not many synonyms that work with Trump to be honest.

Are you based in Moscow Comrade 'Mick'? . (always suspected 'Manchester' was a cover )
Seriously, looking at some of the posts on news items in the Telegraph, it's clear some people are deliberately stirring in a skilled way. Suspect we're all being trolled by Mr Putin. Trump is just his puppet.

Interesting we have a serial forum stirrer, accusing others of stirring. Bit rich of you Mr K. But what is it you always say...?
Ahh yes, "But I forgive you."
