I have had few dealings with the NHS but most have been very good.  ;D
If God really exists, then why haven't I got more fingers?

I was once given a bed bath by 2 nurses.

Long live the NHS.

My NHS dentist (!) is great. And the local hospital (Kings College Hospital, Camberwell) looked after my missus very well when she had a spot of bother a year or two back. Accident and Emergency is a place to avoid, though.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

I used to know a couple of nurses from there. A long time ago.  :-X

Probably come out worse. Get attacked by some junkie or wino.  :'( :o

You almost certainly wouldn't want to go into an NHS hospital where I live - emergency or otherwise; one of the local not-so-funny jokes about it is that if one happens to get oneself admitted to the local NHS hospital for anything routine one soon ends up in A&E as a direct consequence, thereby contributing heavily to the massive queues for real emergencies there; I cannot vouch or otherwise for the truth of that from experience of any side of that, but...

Best,
