I think, Unbeliever, that I am exceptionally lucky with where I am! I am just across the Border in the Scottish Borders and clearly, from reading the experiences of others, am receiving a very high standard of care. 99% of my care is at the Hospital although my GP has called me in over high...

Ok, bit of a rant against DUK coming up after reading their latest news report on the failing NHS! The theme of it really sums up my stance on the carb debate too.
