Hi Hugh, happy new year ... i see you on the old collapse thread, some great posters over there, truly international, i've got to make time to catch up with it One time i had 'upper midriff pains', thought it was heart as it seemed to be in the area and that's the first thing you think of, so there was this shiver of worry that sent me to the doctor for the first time in years ... gruff old scots doctor did some thumping and listening and poking, but no electronic tests, and said ach, there's nothing wrong with that heart, it's just you working and worrying too much and your ribcage is all tightened up, the muscles or tendons or ligaments or whatever between the ribs are reacting to the stress of your business situation .... then within hours of him saying that the pain went away, and never came back ... so whether he was right or wrong, it worked One problem we had with the health system was with a particular doctor, we simply changed GPs and are now quite pleased with performance .... this sort of thing will happen within any system ... never have we experienced any rationing by queue when there was any urgency of need ... these storied incidents are most likely the result of poor prioritising by doctors, imho, they are human being and cannot be expected to be perfect ... it is a fact that as medicine gets increasingly expensive due to cost of new drugs and increasingly applied due to longevity, we'll be faced with hard choices .... that'll be a political question however, and this is a stock thread, more or less .... What do you like for gains from now to spring equinox? 'Adde parvum parvo manus acervus erit. Translation: "Add little to little and there will be a big pile" - Ovid.' en.wikiquote.org ... just checking my latin there, and that seems appropriate, relevant to internet threads certainly -g- ..... cheers
