[Dubious]

Hi,

Many of you know me as I have been here since 2008. I am on other lists and have conversed with this person in the UK whose story I thought was pertinent. Since many here are hoping for a single payor system or are dealing with MC or an HMO, I thought you all should here it from the horses mouth what is possibly in store for us all should we continue down our health care road. These are his words, not mine:

"yup from UK, waited 4 months for **** repair, but from what i read tendon shrinks and unless done promptly it maybe ineffective, and youre very right about rules being different, our hospitals are stretched, youre in and out before you know it, i went in at 8am, got put under at 10:25am, last thing i remember than awake at 1:25 and out by 4 pm with **** flopping out my sling and falling to the ground, i was white and pale, could hardly walk... cant really remember much only what my **** and brother told me, thankyou for your reply, but just to get seen at hospital you have to go to doctors, then wait for a triage nurse, then wait for xrays, then wait weeks for mri scan... seeing surgeon before appointment is strictly a no no , wont even talk to me on the phone lol, all they say is go to the doctors, doctors dont have full records, hence why im hoping physio will point me in the right direction, they can organise xrays, mri scans there and then... all i know is somethings feel very wrong, but then again i dont know what has been done... my ***** was dislocated, popped out all the time and is no longer, so im thinking they did something to that while i was under aswell... arghhhhh never again"
