I fell and banged my head and shoulder, resulting in concussion like symptoms. I had seen a GP and optician but a few weeks later I was still suffering. I arrived at A&E lunchtime, mid week and the service I received was faultless. We are prone to endlessly complaining about the NHS but where else in the world could you turn up at a hospital, see a nurse, then a Dr, have a CT scan and the results, all within 3 hours, then pay not a penny.
Everyone I came into contact with was professional, empathetic and thorough, so a heartfelt thanks to all, from the receptionists through to the CT scan operator and the Doctor.
We do not value what we have and risk losing it all to commercialism and privatisation. Long live the NHS!
