Hello Sooki.

Poor you, I saw the same problems when in hospital. Only one doctor on duty for the whole hospital at night ?????

I hope things get sorted out on Monday and you get better soon.

Sometimes wonderful, sometimes not - you seem to have got the not end of the deal. I hope the pills start to kick in later today for you enough to get something sorted out tomorrow. Warm wishes. xx

I agree with scrobbitty, the NHS can be good and I've only ever seen the good side, but unlucky you have see the bad side, hope it all gets sorted. I had my gall bladder removed, simple day job.

Hello Sooki, you poor thing, hopefully something will get done tomorrow. Sod's law, it always seems to be weekend when I get sick, you wonder should I, shan't I, phone the doctor, the last time I did the emergency doctor didn't even bother coming out, just sent an ambulance! Then my gp's practice wasn't very pleased, questioning me why I hadn't done this or done that, I was furious. Surely the fact I was in hospital for a week and a half was sufficient to be obvious that it had been the necessary course of action? Hope you are feeling better soon my dear. George

I worry about the NHS. It has been a wonderful service with a wonderful record, but it is getting overstretched with an ever increasing population. There will be a point when it just will come to a grinding halt.. This is the same with the police, schools and many other services. In fact the whole country will reach bursting point, or am I exaggerating.

No Annie, you're not exaggerating! xx

Trouble is Annie there are too many old people. I think they should all be put to sleep at 65. Ooooh hang on, that includes me. Ok, forget that idea.

Love to all

Bobby, what are you doing to me! Horrible man, but then I will be 28 soon - or did I get the figures wrong. SMILEYx

Fibber Annie, I know you are 30 if you are a day.

Love from Bobby xxxx

I forgot to mention the congestion on the motorways, the overstretched airports, educational standards etc., etc.People have larger families. Even the cemeteries, at least in my town, are full to bursting point.

All that seems of any importance is political correctness, health and safety blah! blah!

Whilst, all this is going, on, David Cameron is swanning away somewhere. But can he do?

[appyalison]

You are not wrong annieseed! At least us old people have been paying in for years Bobby! Alison

Not good Sooki! Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

I read in the papers that more people die at the weekend than at any other time. You can see why can't you?
