I went to my local GP early on a Friday morning. They did some tests there but were concerned I may have something more serious. I was sent to Forth Valley hospital and was given an extensive examination with Blood work and chest X-rays.
I cannot fault the NHS that day I was given reassurance at all times and felt safe that they were taking me seriously at all times. Luckily it turned out to be muscular pain and nothing serious. There is often negative press about NHS services but they did a fabulous job for me when I was very anxious about this pain.
I travel a lot and know that many country's do not have a free healthcare system. I feel privileged to live in Scotland and would support our NHS at all times.
Thank you
