Why?!?!

Complaints

Why does everyone think the NHS is amazing. The idea of the NHS is amazing but the reality is that it’s not working and it seems as if it’s because they can’t be bothered!
I’ve been turned away from scans for infection I had for over a year and was told to just do nothing and get back to work when I could barely move. Nice.
My wrist wasn’t put into place until 3 weeks after I broke it which has made me change my career.
And my Mrs has had a really bad pain in her elbow for god knows how long. After going back and forth to the doctor and hospital, they’ve decided she’s just got to live with the pain and there’s nothing he can do. When in fact there’s plenty they can do they just can’t be bothered.
Why should you get a pay rise for being rubbish at your job?!
All I see when I’ve been to my local hospital is literally everyone just on their phones not giving a s**t about people saying stuff like “someone else will sort it” then no one ever sorts it.
I’ve walked out number of times because they just make me feel stupid and they don’t care.
