[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 750643, member: 88961"] Well, today, here in Paradise, my OH and I had reason to visit the metropolis. We popped into the Bank to pick up some cash, and on our way out we were accosted by someone trying to raise money for a woman who has recently had significant spinal surgery and needs more. Sadly, this isn't the only time we have been invited to fundraising events for those who are unwell and don't have cash. Of course, the lady concerned could have been working a scam, but the harsh reality is that it is likely to have been kosher, and this poor woman needs treatment, but can't pay for it. I'm sure every single one of us knows or has known someone who has received a cancer or similarly serious diagnosis. In UK, our only questions should then be around when treatment will begin and what it will enatil. Imagine having to then balance that with clarifying the horrendous financial implications at a time when we can hardly think past, "This can't be true". As I have said, time and time again, our NHS is significantly flawed, but, by virtue of its very presence, we don't know we're born. [/QUOTE]
