Despite the fact that an anonymous doctor recently said that patients were ‘slightly incidental’ to his job, I love the NHS.
That’s because when I broke a couple of fingers recently the care I got was outstanding.
- Into A&E at 10AM.
- Examined 10.17
- X-Rays 10.37
- Patched up 11.10
- Exit A&E 11.27
As I booked my next appointment (eight weeks in splints!) I mentioned how impressed I was with the service. The cheery reply came back:
“Well, if you’re going to smash your fingers, do it in the morning. It gets crazy in here after lunch”.
