[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 1344965, member: 29023"] The New York Times?:hilarious: Ah yes, a fount of independent information - just like the Daily Mail is here:D The thing is Tom, and you can argue this until the cows come home, biggest/flashiest, doesn't necessarily mean best. Cash strapped? The NHS was founded so that healthcare would be available to all - and let's face it, this little puny island of ours has produced some of the best doctors the world has seen, not to mention the odd discovery (Penicillin anyone?) I'm not going to knock anyone's system (as you seem to be erroneously doing) because I live in the U.K. Your relative might air her views, but as someone who has been on life support three times, has come back from an advanced cancer, has seen her daughter receive intensive nursing and testing when born with a rare syndrome, has seen two of her grandchildren weighting less than 2lbs survive against the odds - I'll tell you I am proud of what we have. Doctors and surgeons are not deserting us in droves but fighting to preserve the NHS that they believe in. And you can quote me on that;) [/QUOTE]
