QUOTE (JeffG @ Jul 16 2012, 03:42 PM) People joking, you obviously don't know the background, which ce has posted before. I avoided comment for that reason; however, and regrettably, if one 'writes in code', it is bound to get misunderstood.

I am very sorry to learn of his situation. I think people were, perhaps, responding more in relation to the fact that he had a test kit, which (I understand) is sent to everyone at risk once they reach 60, irrespective of any condition. All the best, ce.

QUOTE (Nothing Much @ Jul 16 2012, 06:58 PM) The test kit is still staring at me. I'll do it tomorrow. (Maybe) ce Please, do it and get it sent in. Also, if you have any symptoms and a GP disregards them, then get a second opinion. The NHS has some great doctors; sometimes one has to nag to get in front of them. Take care.

QUOTE (Nothing Much @ Jul 16 2012, 07:45 PM) I will Newbelly, just after I pay my Parking Permit of £317.00. Thanks for the nice post. ce £317 is not too bad. In 1986 I was paying £58 pa to RBK&C. Mind you, in those days, parking enforcement was courtesy of the MPS and they would not clamp a car with a resident's permit if it was on a yellow adjacent to a resident's parking bay. They had some leeway.

It is important to take control of one's health care. The NHS is very bureaucratic and if your condition doesn't fit the right template, then you could find yourself easily falling between the cracks of the pavement if you are not vigilant.

QUOTE (John C @ Jul 17 2012, 10:22 AM) Got mine last month. Did not do it also had an NHS survey sent it back with most of the questions answered as the last time I tried to see the Nurse was told it would be a week, so went to A&E instead only had to wait a couple of hours and as for NHS dentists forget it. Dental practice on London Road (clocktower end) is NHS and very good. Only waited 24 hours to get an appointment and was told if I was in a lot of pain they would see me same day.

She stopped going there because of the quality of the work and got her teeth done elsewhere.
