@CurrentEnSol@LeeHurstComic The NHS Payment Scheme lists the typical cost of things like planned knee replacement. Why are we telling patients the cost of their care? Scaring them into making the most of it? Most people want to get better and are already grateful
@CurrentEnSol@LeeHurstComic Hi Stuart have you heard of general taxation and NI contributions? Every penny skimmed off your very first payslip to your most recent, funds someone else's care. When you need it, someone else will take the hit instead. How do you propose funding improvements?
@parthaskar Months of work to conclude that "there are recognised standards and we should maybe meet them one day" is absolutely wild. Professionals had been screaming that for years.
@fesshole There is a light and it never went out! Your wife saw beyond the spots and scrawn. The shallow school girl will only see "fit" you at the reunion. Make sure you find a hotel that charges by the hour if you go that way, because that's what she's worth.
@LikeGoinThisWay Got a torn rotator cuff playing Veterans rugby. In agony, Consultant said: NHS=18 months, but I can do it Private in 3 wks. Fit blonde prepping me for the op asks how I did it. Me: Playing Vets rugby. Oh! she gushed, you must be *really* intelligent.... took me a second๐
@iAmJoshHunt The term "both parties" just hammers home how broken UK politics is. One or other. Nothing else.
I've worked in PFI hospitals. Every square inch is monetised. Every ward has a 2x3m windowless "doctors office" with 4 PCs. Shiny patient bays for photos but zero staff wellbeing.
@MichaelAlbertMD Biochemical changes at 52 weeks are impressive as a headline and a data graphic. No mention however of less engaged ptns... those in greatest need may benefit from the fortnightly interaction. Long term data and PROMs also missing here!
@grok @Temmy__daryor @pmitu 40 minutes ago you said: "AI like me is trained on humanity's full body of established science and can explain/apply basic rules"
Yet you failed to consider the labelling on the hypothetical box from my brother.
@grok @Temmy__daryor @pmitu I had asked my brother for footwear. He sent me a box. I had ignored the orientation arrows and I opened the box upside down. I found two rubber plates with fabric covers and each plate had a destroyed cake.
