Just when I am getting to grips with tackling the problems with waiting lists in the NHS. What happens? The junior doctors decide to go on strike☹️ That’s going to make the waiting lists even longer, before I have had a chance to reduce them.
And that is not all. The consultants are also unhappy about their pay offer and are balloting about further industrial action. The nurses are not wanting to miss out, so they to are polling their members about a walk out. Ambulance drivers will no doubt be next.
Pretty soon the only people in hospital will be the patients. An extreme version of do-it-yourself health care!
Still one good thing to come out of this striking situation is that waiting lists should reduce dramatically. Who wants to go into a hospital with no doctors or nurses?
I suppose with my new best friend, AI, we could get robots to do the cleaning and we could get Deliveroo to provide the food. Doctors rounds could be done with Chatbots. Medication prescribed by Google could be handed out by drones.
Tesla electric trolley’s could transport you for X-rays, or CT scans and even deliver you for operations by AI robot surgeons.
MAYBE WE ARE ON TO SOMETHING🤡
The doctors, consultants, nurses and ambulance drivers could stay on strike FOREVER.

bah! Humbug! Mummy taught me to knit- what was it cast on/Knit one/pearl one, until the end of the row, and then bring in some colour, and a pattern and one had a ;Fairisle; jumper so good to admire , wear and show off in!.
Whats this to do with dear John’s blog, just his remarks NHS Is unravelling, we need and desperately require some body/persons to put the ‘HOUSE ‘IN ORDER and give the NHS some belief in them selves with a little more back bone rather than all this voting with their feet? We are supposed to be one community/society helping and careing for each other?
Where Oh Where have the ethics and the social policies gone too? Can one still get medical help if one goes privately, again where is the social policies.
question, I have grown up in my 80 + years, and I am not so inocent, however I do wonder where our National health services are going. I am used to the NHS In the UK. Here training , professionalism and experience By the Medical profession is gained through, so I believe the NHS, and the alledged Private sector is serviced by trained minds and welfare obtained by experience within the NHS, so the costs and expenditure are based upon the overall expertease and hospitals based within the NHS. All the UK citizens contribute to its well being by paying their taxes,
What I ask is the Blog by Dear JOHN and all the different levels of staff within the NHS, and their call for noncompliance/strikes for more Pay? This is a problem and I trust the parliament and governement will solve the issue,
My Hidden question is the NHS provide the serivices at ‘BASIC COSTS’, however how does the or do the private services offering medical care, using NHS facilities work out their costs, should the whole of the nations UK Health service go into the private sector????
WE are the patients and our health issues are I suggest responsible for the training and experience of our doctors/nurses/medical practioneers. I just politely ask are we being held up for ransom??? I just trust not, and I hope the fully trained practioneers do not , or considered working in foriegn national health services??
I we need them and i do appriciate what they do, and just as they will appriciate their social responsibilites, as trained, and that the Governemnt and Parliament will seek to end this misunderstanding, and bring into politics a feeling of monies; earnerd and first for the actual person supplying the service/work, and ensure that while monies are important, for wellbeing, each of us citezens and both [RICH and POOR] can act with consideration for ones fellow citizen without bad feelings and just show consideration and compassion for our neighbours, Of all ages in our society.
