Weston Super Saint Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Nothing but praise for the NHS in recent months! OK, it's taken two years to get to this point but I finally had spinal fusion and decompression surgery on Tuesday - hopefully going home today!! Since January I've had an MRI - happened within 3 days of being booked, a CT scan - happened within 10 days, nerve root block, 3 X-rays and numerous appointments with the consultant surgeon. All have gone like clockwork with minimal waiting (about 10 mins was the longest). The care post surgery has been fantastic and provided by knowledgeable people good at their jobs. Top marks from me - maybe even higher once the surgery heals and I get to live relatively pain free!! All done at Southmead hospital in Bristol. 9

spyinthesky Posted May 8 Posted May 8 I am very lucky. My GP is great and the Surgery, in quite a challenging area, is highly rated and I am also fortunate to have a very good NHS Dentist. However I pay a small fortune for Private Health Care which has proved worthwhile when my wife and I have had to have surgery. We prioritise health care over expensive holidays and flash cars and try to live a relatively healthy life style, notwithstanding a bit more alcohol consumption than is probably good for me - a consequence of the crap football at SMS this season!! Not every one feels the same way re comparative health arrangements, of course. 1

What wonderful care you've had, and thank God you got the surgery in the end. I had a discectomy, fusion and bone graft earlier this year and am thankfully through the other side. My only advice is to do nothing more or less than advised, walk as much as you're encouraged to, and see the recuperation period as an opportunity to recharge your batteries. Good luck mate, you'll be fixed up in no time. 4

Good luck mate, you'll be fixed up in no time. Thanks mate. 10 weeks booked off work. Will be walking as much as possible just as soon as the excruciating pain subsides! Back home now so a chance to start healing properly - starting with a good night's sleep tonight! Sounds like you had pretty much the same thing done. 3

sadoldgit Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 They have just cut away from the news of the trade deal to go to the Vatican. Henry V111 will be spinning in his grave. He’s a bloody yank too (but not Pope Donald).

whelk Posted May 10 Posted May 10 (edited) I appreciate we are a civilised society but like to think we’d take a Shawshank Redemption style approach to supervising these cunts.

Wiggles31 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 From a mate - Rumour is Intoxicated, trying to leave the area, hits a pedestrian, crowd react and attack vehicle, driver goes into (Intoxicated) fight or flight then hits another pedestrian, reacts late and veers into crowd.

Gloucester Saint Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Chris Philp is the emptiest of empty vessels. Once that ERG took over their party they destroyed it beyond repair.

The penalties for drunken drivers is far too lenient. They cause utter carnage but get handed down a few years inside then come out to resume living their lives. Too soft like a lot of things in this country. 2

AlexLaw76 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 I’m glad the police learnt their lessons and were able to give more “information” about the alleged incident, compared to stuff that happened not so far away 3 2

I can guarantee that if the details of the perpetrator weren't disclosed so soon, this thread would have been full of assumptions that it was a brown Muslim. Yep, some will be disappointed that they're assumptions were wrong. Sad state of affairs. 3 1

Yep, some will be disappointed that they're assumptions were wrong. Sad state of affairs. Sounds like there are quite a few pleased/relived as well. certainly the case if you scroll through X. Plenty on the celebrating the fact is wasn’t a brown Muslim. I’m sure here would be the same. Which is equally a sad state of affairs. 3

I don’t give a toss who the suspect is, my heart just goes out to everyone impacted and the poor bystanders who will never unsee that, however much counselling they receive. You weren’t even mentioned, and in fact it was another poster who mentioned Southport. 1 1
