quote:

urses will be trained to perform surgical procedures under a radical NHS drive to slash waiting times.

They will be urged to take a two-year course to become 'surgical care practitioners' and help ease the workload of under-pressure surgeons.

But critics say the plan is a 'sticking plaster solution' to a 'very serious staffing crisis', and it will only intensify existing nursing shortages.


quote:

NHS waiting times are at their worst in 13 years, with 4.4 million patients languishing on lists, some of whom have been there more than a year.

The delays have intensified over the past year with up to 70 per cent of surgeons cutting back on their hours to avoid punitive pension taxes imposed by the Treasury.


This is what socialized medicine looks like, folks. People waiting on a list for over a year for a fricking surgery because surgeons don't want to work to get hit with taxes, so they train fricking nurses to do it when there is already a nursing shortage.

This is what the democrats want for America.

Imagine a system like NHS being implemented in a country with a population of 330 million instead of the 66 million it currently serves in Great Britain.

My aunt in Costa Rica hurt her shoulder 2 years ago and she just had her surgery back in December.
My uncle’s wife messed up her ankle and she had her appointment a year later. She was fine by then but she went anyway just to scream how fricked up it is lol.

Just wait until the stigma of killing off the elderly is erased, then everything will fall into place. Because lets face it, the only way you can save money and be efficient is to let the elderly die off.

Bernie will be creating a system that could only be sustained if they let people like him and his heart problem just die off instead of fixing him.

Where did Bernie get world class care in rapid fashion? Oh, right here in the US of A.

And by the way, if he woulda been in Canada, UK or Sweden, or the VA in the US there is a chance he is still waiting.

Hurry up and wait to die

This is the part the lefty morons don't get.

Three choices always apply. Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick two.

That the UK has doctor shortages could have been predicted by every conservative who has ever lived. And, liberals refused to accept it.

Look. It's great if brain surgery is free. But, if there are 50 people who need brain surgery this weekend and there's only two brain surgeons...……..ya know what? Turns out you don't have a RIGHT to "health care" then, now do ya!
