National Health Service in the UK

Tweet

Just a note about the National Health Service here in the UK. People are always moaning and groaning here but I just want to tell you my experience lately. My wife and I were on holiday recently and were taking a last walk before returning home when she caught her foot in the gutter and fell. Luckily I was able to catch her and the only damage was to her ankle. She was in pain but we strapped it up and returned home next day. She was now in considerable pain and we went straight to hospital where they kept her in with a broken foot!!!! The care she received in Doncaster hospital was superb and they could not do enough for her. She was discharged after a few days complete with "pot", then we recieved a call from the local re-hab nurses who called almost daily with immense care and diligence. Also the local red cross dept called and came up with all the gadgets necessary for help in the home. I have nothing but good to say about the NHS. Long may it survive.
