well you know there's this painting - Dutch artist?- what did your father do during the war?
I think it's a bit like that -If docos haven't got time to fully explain their treatment to their patients then why not? They're not only selling themselves short they're short-changing their patients - and colluding with a system that says cheap is good
If i had a pound for every time ive had to reassure patients about the drug info leaflets, i wouldnt need to work!!! But of course, the companies are covering their bottoms, by listing EVERY side effect so they cant get sued
(With apologies to Go-kl for hijacking the thread.)
The average EU spending on healthcare as a % of GDP is 8.61. The UK spends 6.8 - only Ireland and Luxembourg spend less. Germany and France, who we should be compared to, spend 10.71 and 9.61% respectively.
“..and Dr's are f*ck*ng rubbish!” “…being sh*te” “…tw*t” “Useless t**ts”
I am fed up of being told that the NHS is useless, or a joke. I hear it a lot in this forum. The NHS was conceived out of the noblest intentions of mankind. It is staffed by men and women who spend most of their time trying to care for others. But the bill has arrived and we are all squabbling about who should pay it.

Alan apology accepted. I will try and find you the tax data. But I suspect you are right, we wouldn't need to raise taxes if we could stop spending the money on wars.

It isn't - its's cheap and nasty
Vote for a party that says it will raise taxes.
Simple.

Don't know much about economics but I thought we paid more tax than anyone

/rant mode off
would like to see the figures for overall levels of taxation
That is often a result of the good will of the staff
But it scares the poor peeps what has to take the meds
And youd eat no food if you had the same labels on it
