really is amazing how the government took the NHS from the envy of the world to a complete mismanaged laughing stock in only 13 years

The envy of the world? I mean it was always good system in principle but most countries in Europe are doing ok I think.

Thank capitalism and Thatcher for selling NHS out to "muh free market."

I denied myself medical aid because they wanted to do xrays instead of giving me bandages and ointment, huge waste of time and money, could've been a 1-hour visit to the local nurse's office but the doctor taking care of me had priorities askew.

At the end of the day I ended up not even putting ice or compresses on my bruises because the doctors failed to take care of my topical injuries.
