70 years of the NHS

[Wazza84]

Today I’ll be visiting Trafford General as I’ve been invited to celebrate 70 years of the NHS.. I hope to speak to other brain injury survivors and to tell my story and maybe give hope to patients and family 😁 I will admit my anxiety is through the roof 😂 but it’s the least I owe to the NHS.

Absolutely Wazza, itll be fine, just think that you are talking to friends.

Did you know it costs £6,000 anight to support someone in ICU, thats £126,000 for me alone not adding on the costs for another 3 weeks in hospital and 6 more weeks in rehab etc, etc.

I owe the NHS so much .

We can Save Our NHS by stopping risk on our roads. 70 years ago when the NHS was founded there were NO Volkswagens, NO BMWs, NO Audis, NO Mercedes and NO Porsche 9-11 Types of thing on our roads so people could cycle and walk safely.

In 1948 Great British Railways had also been established by The Labour Government and Clement Attlee welcomed the Windrush Generation who rebuilt Britain and made it Great.

We want to Make Britain Great Again by welcoming immigrants from The Commonwealth like we did. These wonderful people became our NHS Nurses and Doctors, they drove our Buses and helped us getting on and off the bus, their work paid the taxes that paid for Our NHS and a virtuous cycle of immigration, work, taxes, pubic services and economic growth was created. We need to restore this virtuous cycle and break the vicious cycle of the hostile environment, unemployment, cutbacks, denial of bus services and economic decline.

Let's celebrate Our NHS today and forever by remembering how we achieved it in 1948.

Hope your visit was a good one Wazza. Trafford General (formerly 'Park Hospital') is one of my local hospitals which I've visited and been admitted to many times over the years. There's Wythenshawe hospital within the same distance in the opposite direction (also brilliant reputation) but Trafford General has always had a really welcoming atmosphere with unusually friendly staff.

And of course it was the first NHS hospital. As you'll know too, there are still all the original photographs of the opening with Aneurin Bevan in attendance all along the main corridor. x

The NHS is wonderful and we will Save Our NHS as we do Stop The War so all that money for missiles will instead be spend on Medicine by The Grace of God ! #MedicineNotMissiles
