The NHS has turned into feces under this Tory government. Like every other public service, and utility.
But GPs have been closing by the spade, seconded they're still running telephone consultations, thirdly many are referring GP common problems to the A/E.
In the junior doctor NHS staff strike. My sister is an A/E nurse. Basically the head nurse said to a crowded A/E no doctor if you haven't got life threatening immediate issues there's a 6-8 hour wait. 80% of the people there left. They were all GP issues. My own experience had the same thing last year 3 times had to raise complaints. Every time I rung my GP they said no appointments go to A/E. I had to go one time for peace of mind. The issue was changing a prescription, the one I had caused side affects. I get to the A/E it was full of people who also didn't need to be there. It was packed full of people that a GP should be attending. Full of idiots who didn't need A/E. The GP is making more money phone consultation, then later seeing the patient, because you cannot diagnosis over the phone. But they will give a phone appointment foremost. Money twice. I have a hospital consultation, since referral, it's over a year to my appointment. That local hospital is less than one mile away.
In short the ambulance service is in high demand. Absurdly so. The hospital beds are full. My brother's wife had an operation she was discharged the same day. Big Op. Same as my niece they didn't observe her when her tonsils were removed, sent her home, that day she got a blood clot. Had to be rushed back in.
The Tory government has killed the NHS. It has become a service as bad as the third World. Really bad.
Over a year to get appointments for consultancies. Backlogged. Stupid GPs not seeing patients, backlogging the entire Hospital system. It is still operating on COVID bullshit. Telephone appointments. Finally the amount of idiots it employs. Rats taking the fucking piss. Never come across such rats, come to England, granted status, GP, etc, taking the fucking piss. Literally not their job to do anything except get paid.
England has turned into a nation of cannot. It's always somebody else's problem on everything. They send you back and forth between departments claiming it's not their job. They sit there getting paid to do nothing. It's not their job. But getting paid to do nothing. I have never come across such assholes anywhere else, back and forth between departments, a lot of it from working from home bullshit, these people at home, god damn it, fire them, automated services, taking weeks getting response, to be told go to a different department. It isn't the NHS. It's the damn Government. Every public service in England today.
How many healthcare workers were fired for not taking the injection over there?
Not many that I know of. Quite a few didn't take it, and protested it. Originally they were strong armed, but I think more than just a few held out. Like other places in Europe. And many complied.
The problem is that policy is still absurdly operating on its COVID restrictions. Telephone consultations and appointments. Still being dulled out foremost. They're not a solution but the problem. They're okay if it is a separate service, operating on another phone line, Internet page, like 111, and can prescribe, leaving the GPs and doctors to triage. Instead of them turning into con artists. GPs are a franchise. I'd hate to imagine those audits but they cook the books. More money phoning, it cannot diagnosis, but it can prescribe, then having to triage and disgnose because a phone cannot, neither can any bullshit pictures uploaded, they need a hands on opinion. If it's a separate line of contact, yes, it can help. But the entire system is backlogged. GPs are closing left, right, and center. They have been flooding A/E hospitals, emergency, full of people with athlete's foot, or headaches, etc. Because they're operating on phone consultations. It takes an average of 20 minutes to contact my GP by phone before I speak to a cunt, they don't even speak English, they tell me there's no appointments go to A/E. Three times last year. Even ignoring 111, telling them see me. Had to fight just to see a GP a stone's throw away. Literally the next street over. I get there, they're taking on new patients, money, but were offering no appointments. Madness. It got resolved after raising serious complaints. I don't want to even ask until sick, don't want to ring up about my health, unless on a deathbed, it's not nice. They employ horrible foreign admin, horrible assholes, you're a problem not a customer. Literal fucking idiots. Never come accross so many of these today. You're the problem not the customer. The GPs are nice but try getting an appointment, they'll phone you first, then have to go to the Clinic. By then it's weeks later.
This is starting to improve, but that damage is done by COVID. The service is diabolical. The backlog over a year to see a hospital for a consultation after the GP referral.
The way around it is not use dumb GP. But this is hard. Because one way or another you will still use them. Despite using health insurance. You still use the NHS hospital as well. There isn't much jumping the queue, even on private care by insurance. You can somewhat but it's the same backlogs. You still need a registered GP.
