The myth of free medical care in Britain

After reading an article about Michael Moore in Tianya, the author seems to be full of admiration and fantasy for the NHS of Britain.

I just want to say something.

I have a say in this question. Britain's medical system has advantages, but like any big pot system, its efficiency is very low, and the quality of so-called GP and other primary medical staff is uneven. My own feeling is that I can get seriously ill in Britain, and I will report it from beginning to end. For example, kidney dialysis and other treatments are absolutely free. If you are so sick that you can't get through every day, I will send you a dialysis machine and do it at home. The most powerful example I know is a girl who has had four liver transplants! Students, how much does this cost?

However, it is not good if there is a minor illness or pain. With the following personal experience, I will never go to see a doctor again because of minor ailments. The first time I had low back pain, I was very worried about the attack of nephritis, and finally I made an appointment with GP.

After the meeting, he said something that completely shocked me-although I'm not sure if you have nephritis, I'd better treat it as nephritis for a week. There is no harm in treating myalgia as nephritis, but it is not good to treat nephritis as myalgia. Then I was prescribed antibiotics for a week and let me go. Less than 5 minutes before and after, the distance between me and him is 3 meters.

The second time was my roommate, who got drunk on Saturday and accidentally hurt his thumb by the spring door. Bloody with a broken finger to the emergency department, the nurse simply bandaged it, sent two painkillers, and let her sit and wait. Also, what is a severed finger? I didn't even break my neck in the car accident, and I didn't make any noise. The hapless girl waited in the emergency room with her thumb up all night. This is a tragedy.

The third time, my boyfriend felt uncomfortable with his neck and went to see a doctor several times. Finally, the doctor couldn't find the reason and was very angry. He said that my boyfriend had mild depression and gave him antidepressants. Many people I know are defined as depression by doctors. I found that doctors in Britain label you as depressed when they can't give a correct diagnosis and are impatient to see you often.

The so-called free medical care is also one-sided. In Britain, you are divided into hospital doctors and family doctors by postal code. Sometimes, in this zip code, you can use a drug or treatment for free, while in another zip code, you have to pay, even if it is just across the street. This tells us once again that you must buy a house with a good location, otherwise you may not enjoy the rights conferred by law after paying taxes and national insurance. Evil capitalism.

Britain's national health system also has a list of drugs at public expense and drugs at its own expense. Many new drugs and specific drugs are privately funded and the prices are ridiculously high.

It is often reported that cancer patients come out to give sad speeches and sell houses and cars in order to use private medicine. Then the whole country began to criticize the shortcomings of the NHS. Real rich people go to private hospitals. All kinds of dissatisfaction and deficiencies mentioned above are much better than domestic medical care. People are spoiled. I didn't know the taste of China Hospital until I really came to China. I'm afraid I have to cry.
