Hurrah For The NHS

[poliphilo]

Ailz is having a minor op in a fortnight's time and yesterday she went for the pre-medical assessment at Tunbridge Wells General. Her appointment was for one o'clock- and she was seen- straight away- by a nurse who weighed her and measured her and checked her heart, then talked to by a doctor who sent her for a blood test- and we were out in the car park again before one thirty. I've never known a hospital visit be speedier.

The NHS is the butt of so much adverse publicity that I like to put it on record when things go swimmingly.
