Leave our country of the uk!!

The NHS is importantly on a societal and cultural level. It sets out values and morals around the type of society we want. The idea of health or sickness being something to profit from should be abhorrent. That’s the important part of the NHS and if you go back to why it was set up and the reasons why, then you can see the aspiration. The ideal is flawed in some respects but the principles of equal access are important.

Happy mother and daughter time. Great video.

Well either her glasses dont meet tint regulations, or the car window doesn't, because she had plenty of time to see that the steering wheel is on the other frigging side of the damn car 🫣

We do eat popcorn! My husbands favourite snack!

Ambulance service prioritises call outs, so you weren't in immediate danger and that's why you waited a while

Why is the little girl in the drivers seat

Wdym oops her driver is here

Watch Gangs of London

That’s not a UK thing, that’s a marketing from China to UK thing that no one buys. We use our radiators, tumble dryer, clothes horse or the backs of chairs in the winter and the same in summer but sometimes outside and it rains but it’s all wet anyway so might as well do it after dinner, but then you remember while you’re in bed but again meh tomorrow, and tomorrow you wash it again and do it right this time and keep it inside. I have ADHD.

The speed up video was so cute 😂 She is a great rider. I am happy you can watch her improve!

When I was a child I had an appendix operation 1964, the next time I had to go to hospital was in 2018 when I had my first and only heart attack. I was 61 and was at home in Broadstairs, Kent. The ambulance came in ten minutes, took me to Ashford Hospital 30 miles away and on arrival straight into operation theater for keyhole surgery and place a stent into my heart. Three days later I was back at home. This did not cost me anything and forever thankful to NHS for saving my life. I do not know how much I paid in over the years but I am sure that experience alone, only just cover the cost.

I have to say that I was surprised to hear that you went to A&E. A&E is not a diagnostic setting. I appreciate that you might not know, however if you had visited your GP for an urgent appointment they would have made a diagnostic referral for you. A&E are not there to diagnose, they are there to treat immediate need. Also your GP is there to provide holistic oversight of your health & refer you to specialist units.

If you can just find Scarlet a Pegasus.

Oh man, to be born into a horsey family is a dream of mine lol… as an equestrian teen this looks like a wonderful childhood

Please put a complaint in to PALS or the equivalent at the hospital about the medication when you were in. They cannot improve if they don't know the problem, and a complaint has to be actioned or the hospital gets into trouble with the Care Quality Commission.

I can’t imagine being prepped for surgery three times and not having it. I think I would’ve lost it.

I had my gallbladder removed at midnight. I went in about six and I’ve been having gallbladder attacks and they finally called in a surgeon to take it out that night, but they only keep you for a very short time. I ended up leaving the hospital then having to go back to the hospital This is crazy

Why don’t they build more hospitals? Also, why don’t they have surgery day centers like they do in the US that would take a lot of the pressure off of the big hospital

Next time you go to the hospital, take your own medication and just refuse them giving it to you

So in the US has become so common place for them to take two days to get your medication if you’re impatient that I have learned a long time ago that if you go to the hospital, even if you’re not sure you’re gonna be in the hospital, you need to make sure you have a minimum of 3 to 4 days of all of your medication’s even if they say they’ll give them to you and do not tell them you have them keep them because I guarantee you they’re gonna fuck it up 100% I would’ve been screwed if I had not brought my meds with me. A year ago I was in the hospital for a month. I was misdiagnosed at an ER as having a shoulder that was not broken, but broken turned out to be sepsis because I had infected feet which they wouldn’t even look at. It was a horrendous horrendous nightmare the first floor I was on was they took very good care of me. They were very nice. The next floor I was on I was left in a Puss filled bed for two days I had to beg to brush my teeth and I mean actually bag it was terrible. It was horrible and then when they found out, I had a dog they refused the place refused to take me the rehab center so they said well too bad for you. We’ll just have to send you back home. I live alone and I’m blind and at that point I couldn’t walk or use my right arm. They literally put me in a wheelchair. Use the wheelchair to carry me in my house. They pick me up, put me in a bed got me some water and snacks so we’re very sorry. I said I can’t get to the bathroom. They brought me some bath towels put them underneath my butt so that I could use the bathroom in the towels and they left me there and said hopefully somebody will come for you tomorrow. Luckily somebody did come, but the medicine was never supposed to be given outside of the hospital so it was a covered I’m still paying off $5000 worth of medicine and I tried to go after them the place with lawyers because refusing somebody who’s blind because they have Is against federal law, but I actually was not able to do it

the nhs has been underfunded for at least the last 14 years it's amazing it still survives. the lack of time the doctors spend talking to patients it's not surprising that mistakes are made with meds ,iy used to be the nurses that would talk to you find out your history and what meds you were on and when in order to inform everyone else and write it into your notes but the digital systems have made that more difficult .

In the US she would have had surgery the next day and spent less than two days in the hospital … not 12 days. Also she should have known to get Travelers Insurance. Not being smart enough to pay for Travelers Insurance has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE US NOT HAVING UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. Even a Brit knows to Travel with Travelers Insurance when coming to the US. I love the US because I take an active lead in my Healthcare. And with a catastrophic illness you are taken care of waaaay better in the US than in the NHS. Chronic things like Diabetes and Asthma, the NHS would be easier and cheaper than the US. Except for some states in the US like NYS that makes it easier for chronic patients; compared to another state like Florida. (I had a friend with diabetes that stayed in NY than live in FL - even though she had a house in both places). The NHS treated her HORRIBLY compared to the US system. And she doesn’t even realize it. 😂 The US has 50 separate HealthCare systems that range from poor to best in the world. A second opinion is customary in the US and would have solved her problem within a month. Worst comes to worst and maybe that second opinion would be an excellent doctor out of Network and you eat a $350-$1,500 consultation fee. But it is your choice. Very little choice in the NHS. Even Brits understand this and have adopted the Private/US model to handle just the problems she said she was having. Sure you have to go private and pay out of pocket if you go out of NHS or your Network in the US. But the US has waaaaay more flexibility than the NHS. And yes …. if you ever get a 10 million dollar hospital bill, you will be claiming Bankruptcy…but at least you have I’ll have had the best care in the world and will live to tell about it. 😂 Every 10 years you can declare Bankruptcy- and most people’s reason is a Catastrophic medical Bill in the millions.

I have had 5 life saving operations with a 5 month stay 9 nights in HDU. I had a appointment to scan my 5th hernia i have named it Harry because its realy annoying and won't go away. A doctor stopped me in the corridor and asked it he could do a ECG, i was not allowed to go home!!!!! For 10 weeks. After 1 week i was taken by ambulance to the Liverpool hart heart hospital, AMAZING.😂 it was very odd 5 people in the ward and 3 of us ware fron Perth Australia. A consultant came to talk about the op, i asked if he could do me a favour i asked him to match my new scar with my old one so its now from my neck to me tummy button he had never been asked that, i thought it was funny, he did it. I had 11 days in HDU. There were 12 beds in this amazing room with a huge central raised hub. I stayed in loads of single rooms with en suite and TV, the last week in a single private room the shower was crap.. The choice of food was amazing a big magazine to pick from they even paid £80 for my taxi home The NHS also saved my brother at 11months old he pulled a whole kettle of boiling water over his head. He was in the sick children's hospital in Glasgo, they were amazing. Back in 1981 you did not survive this he did. When kids stair he says "don't juggle with kettles " he is amazing a paramedic and has 2 wonderful girls, a truly amazing and funny brother.

If you are intending to stay in the UK over six months you need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge which will cover you for all your healthcare needs except for Fertility, you will be directed to pay this when you apply for your Visa, otherwise you will be charged for your treatment. There is no charge for A&E. Each surgeon will have their usual weekly list for Elective surgery. Every day the On-Call Surgeons will have two days use of the Emergency List per specialty

How, exactly, are you allowed to come and live here ?

Its no secret that the previous conservative governments have been against the NHS and voted against its creation (05/07/58) they would see the NHS Fail happily and replace it with an american system. No system is ever perfect but id rather have this than the alternative. 66.5% of all bankruptcies in the USA are the result of medical bills. Happy your getting better.

Your daughters developing a sort of trans -Atlantic accent like Cary grant

When it comes to school holidays you are right to complain about the flight seat pricing and it’s always been like that! The obvious next comment of course you need to look up alternative overseas travel! If you have a vehicle that you are confident with its serviceability then you have other avenues such as cross channel ferries and the channel tunnel that’s just to get you on the continent of course and you drive from there. There is of course train travel on its own where you decide on a destination travel on the train to get there and hire a car when you’re there. In the UK of course there is the package holidays which can make things easier for families which usually contain travel and hotels or even all inclusive holiday destinations to Sun sea and sand of course are the big drawers for summer from the UK of course! I think it’s worth checking out the different methods of travel to get the whole picture and now is a good time to look at the package holidays looking for early deals. With the car serviceability aspect the RAC and the AA can look after breakdown over the channel with a bit of extra cost of course, which may or may not be useful to you. Another thing as the kids get older I believe the schools have school trips to Europe which the kids can go on as well! Nowadays I think all this needs to be researched to be honest! So make up your minds what you want. Eurocamp is a cheep alternative using big tents and cabins as a base rather than hotels or apartments. Good luck to you and your family, I hope you have a great year with all the separated holiday weeks in the UK! Cheers all!

We pay more and more into the NHS but it's broken, being bled to death by uncontrolled mass migration, by people arriving who have never contributed to the system.

If your doing a true comparison then you need to do US private care against UK private care as the NHS does not have an equal to compare against in the US. Its like comparing McDonald's and a restaurant, yes they both serve food but totaly different venues.

Nice to see you looking healthy again. 💐

Honestly how did they confuse the pain of constipation with gall bladder? Glad you got it sorted,

Good comment, you haven’t paid into the system but still benefitted- there is no comparison between 🇬🇧 & USA systems; one is a public service the other is just about profit and money. Glad you’re better but interesting you didn’t get treated when you were in US as you would have had to pay!

❤Beautiful Family All the Best for the New Year ❤️

So, travel insurance. You are not resident.

no one cares about your laundry and clutter, we all have it

I was a ten pound pom, I had my 6Th birthday in Brisbane. As fate would have it I met my future and still wife While serving in the military and was serving in Th UK. I relocated back to the UK for my wife. For some years I had a bad knee, a result of an accident while i was young I was in agony for a long time. Aussie doctors said they couldn't fix it till I was about sixty. Arrived in the UK, had a bad week with it and so went to see a local doctor. Three weeks later they did a procedure on my knee, I'VE HAD NO TROUBLES SINCE AND i'M 70 NOW.

You shouldnt charge to 100% unless you are overnight charging, when you are on the road just charge from 20- 80% it'll charge much faster .

An expat gets a house in another country. An immigrant gets a home in another country.

There's a womens department?

If you haven't done so, you should contact PALS at the hospital. Your medication should not have been messed up, whether the hospital was understaffed or not. That was unacceptable. I believe in the NHS, but it isn't perfect and it has been getting worse due to underfunding. Nevertheless, it can't get better unless we are honest and critical in order to help it get better. Please report your experience to PALS, with the expectation that it will be looked into. Someone close to me nearly died because of damage to her liver when her gallbladder infection wasn't diagnosed quickly enough - I do wonder whether it's generally difficult to diagnose, or if women are routinely dismissed when they report pain. (I was told that I had a low pain threshold just before I was finally diagnosed with a spinal issue that almost paralysed me.) If we want the NHS to continue it has to improve. I think that we all need to be part of that.

For retired people like myself, the US system is much different, much cheaper because of Medicare. My wife and I are on top tier supplemental plans where everything is covered except for office visit co-pays, which are generally only $20. It's about $189/mo for each of us, and it's withdrawn from our monthly Social Security payment. I additionally have a prescription plan because I take two cancer medications that cost astronomical amounts. But with my prescription plan, and a small foundation grant to cover the deductible, everything is paid for me. I don't have experience with NHS but your situation with your knee sounds typical of what I've heard from others. Wait times to even see a specialist, never mind get a surgery, can be very long, months and months. At least that's what I've heard. Is that what you hear from others who have more experience with it? And the US is like the UK in that one's location has a lot to do with your experience. We live in Connecticut, which has multiple very large healthcare systems. To see a specialist or get treatment is mostly local to our town or at worst within no more than an hour's drive. And treatments (surgeries, radiation, etc.) are available usually within a few weeks. But out in rural states, travel and wait times can be much longer, simply because there isn't enough population density to justify building, for instance, a large, sophisticated heart or cancer center. In the US, we'd be a lot better off simply with Medicare for everyone, for sure! Medicare pays for healthcare, but it doesn't provide it, which is a key distinction. I believe providers in the UK actually work for the NHS. Is that right? Thanks for this post, it's really helpful to see the NHS from an American's POV.

Happy Birthday, Ella. Despite both of you being unwell, it looks like you both had a good time. Respect to mum for driving from France to Switzerland and back again. 👍 P.S, the food has made me hungry 😂.

the nhs is not free, its paid for out of our taxes. i am happy to contribute my share

Two beautiful ladies, happy 13th birthday Ella! Electric cars are....nonsense. 1h42m for a charge, stupid! And EV's are dangerous. When you drive one the radiation from the lithium battery is dangerous for humans, go and research it. Do not buy electric. Rant over. Sorry you had the ELECTRIC CAR issue 😐Respect for doing this trip the two of you. Awesome. Happy New Year, get well soon

I'm guessing Ella isn't sold on electric cars.

Things have really change in the uk. I am sorry for your bad experience. I had an emergency op to remove my gallbladder because my stones had exploded into fragments that cause a sepsis infection. I was out of hospital within two days, pain free. I loved the NHS then. That was in 1999. I’d hate to live in the US especially now that Musk will be the de facto president. We have retired to Spain and our free medical service is thankfully better than the current NHS. I hope that the NHS will improve under this new government but I won’t hold my breath.

Such a positive watch. You seem very happy.
