The entire NHS can fucking die in a fire.
...same goes for all NHS staff, and any other medical workers (unless they can prove themselves as having a heart, with actions).
Also, when I say "die in a fire" in this instance, I don't mean it as melodrama, rage, or exagerasion, I mean what it say. Literally.
For reasons that are out of our control, my life, future, and wellbeing has been put in their hands, as well as the lives, futures, and wellbeings of almost every friend and close loved one of mine - and near universally the NHS/medical industry couldn't give a shit. They have sat by and watched unfazed through the suffering of countless people and knowlingly instigated, through their deliberate inaction or blocking, the collapse or damage of those people's world, and the ensuing, predictable, real, tangible, harm to to both those people and to those they are close to. Knowing that "budgetary saving were made" when relationships of mine were catastrophically undermined due to withheld care, doesn't exactly give me a fuzzy glow. Some times the excuse is "rules", sometimes it's "cost", other times "local priorities", but occasionally they'll just come right out with it and say they don't like the look of you or object to your existance on "moral grounds".
This isn't healthcare, and this isn't deserving of honorifs.
This is systematic physical and psychological abuse.
The principle of State funded healthcare is sound - but the implementation where already priviledged individuals are made virtual gods is destroying lives.
