I live in the USA but have always spoken highly of the NHS until now watching my daughters mother in law be a victim of this hair brain system unfold. Having a pain in her back her local GP gave her four different medications and told her to call back in two weeks. She developed other side effect in the next 24 hrs including vomiting. An other doctor visited her and pronounce her very sick and pack her off to hospital. The hospital placed her on antibiotics for suspected kidney infection and released her to return home before all tests were completed and without her antibiotics to continue her treatment. What doctors have alway told me is to complete the treatment or the infection will return with vengeance! Within twenty four hours this poor woman had pain back and felt worse. Fancy that! Taken back to this insanity she was then put through triage to see what the problem was. Useful signs on the wall warn you to treat their staff with respect while they attempt to ignore dismiss and discard you, requiring you or you love ones to remain calm cool and collected. You may get good care and attention from this system but have a back up plan because you could end up dead!
