"It is the system that is at fault"

I wanted this to be a fresh post for all those who read my first version https://www.patientopinion.org.uk/opinions/113687.

The dreadful pain remains and now I have seen for the first time the truth of it.

It is the system that is at fault. The need for bigger and better and less by a succession of Governments not to improve the NHS but to bring it to its' knees. I have seen the queues at first hand people like myself waiting for operations.

I saw the consultant Mr Pimpleneker who explained everything and was brilliantly helpful.

This does not make the pain go away or indeed help with it. I will now direct my anguish and frustration were it belongs- the Politicians.

I therefore hope Dr Newbold will forgive my frustrations against him and his staff, As I have previously stated Mark Newbold is like a breathe of fresh air to the Hospital and I have a lot of respect for him and you know why. He is available to the people and he does listen.
