For all the bigs things I've needed the NHS for, childbirth, broken bones and worse they have been without out fault but sometimes I've found the little things to be lacking and one of the biggest for me is the inconsistencies between GPs, there's one at our practise I refuse to see as he always treats me like a hysterical woman, whilst the rest seem to recognise a worried mum #bloggersbestBrionyhttps://anywaytostay.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-80372991493617530042017-11-02T11:57:47.912+00:002017-11-02T11:57:47.912+00:00Oh gosh, I'm sorry for all the stress you had ...Oh gosh, I'm sorry for all the stress you had to deal with in getting care for your daughter.

That said it wasnt faultless, mistakes were made and there wasn't always the consistency in treatment or decisions. I will never forget one doctor who we both wanted to punch after he repeatedly tried and failed to cannulate Oliver when he was tiny and caused him a lot of distress.<br />As the NHS becomes under more pressure than ever it unfortunately seems there will be more chance of human error and mistakes as they are under so much stress and without loads more money being pumped into staffing I can't see how else it will cope.<br />I remember reading about Elarna earlier in the year and how brave she was.<br />#bloggersbestFran Back With A Bumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240919032010911661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-74911907938591161342017-11-01T09:34:29.101+00:002017-11-01T09:34:29.101+00:00It's a shame you were messed about so much!

It sounds awful. <br />Personally, I have an inconsistent experience with the NHS. There have been times I've had a fab experience, and other times not so. Also, my Dad had cancer about 8 years ago and it was misdiagnosed. He went back 6 months later for it to be identified as cancer. Really not good at all. That said, I'll always be a champion of the NHS. We are so incredibly lucky to have the service, I just feel it's so under funded. #bloggersbestOur Rachhttp://ourrachblogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-20752572921044053842017-10-29T06:25:30.916+00:002017-10-29T06:25:30.916+00:00Hi Helen, I've not lived in the UK for years, ...Hi Helen, I've not lived in the UK for years, so I really con't comment first hand on the NHS.

My gir...I am so sorry you had to go through this...<br />My girls were born with heart defects which were missed until they were 7 and nearly 2 years old. There were plenty of chances for doctors and nurses to hear their hearts and the murmor the defect caused. After a freak accident staff at the Newcastle RVI discovered the defect in my youngest and when it was confirmed they checked my now teenager out unofficially and discovered the same defect in her heart too. We had to go back to our GP for a formal referral. She listened to her heart and said their was no problem. I lost all my faith in that doctor then! After a bit of ranting I got the referral and my girls both had open heart surgery. The hospitals were amazing! The GP's not so much.

I've had some excellent care from the NHS but currently am really annoyed by poor treatment. It has taken 2 years to diagnose my hip problem and this week I was sent to a surgeon who cannot treat it. I now need to wait again to be sent to someone else. I think a lot of the nhs problems lie in paperwork and bureaucracy and if you can get past that the actual medical treatment is good. #pocolo Louisahttps://insideoutblog.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-48593054957545406372017-10-27T09:53:40.222+01:002017-10-27T09:53:40.222+01:00Thankfully, we haven't had any dealings with t...Thankfully, we haven't had any dealings with the NHS other than the odd emergency, but I feel really strongly that we need more investment in it so that it can work properly.
