This morning I was operated on at Bristol Eye Hospital, and my errant retina
put firmly back in its place. Considering that the problem was first picked up by Specsavers on the 19th December, and since then we've had Christmas, New Year and a 6-day junior doctor's strike, I'd say that's pretty swift work for a 'crumbling' National Health Service. I even got given some compression socks for long-haul flights as a bonus!
They didn't give me a pirate hat to go with my patch, though. Perhaps that's where BUPA scores?
