My cryptic question begged the answer " more houses " because that would mean even more patients having to use the already not fit for purpose Surgery miles away in Wadhurst.
Whether or not they might be refugees has no relevance - just probably at least 60 new patients with no local GP to access.
The sooner we make our proposed downsizing to TW , the better.
You've only been there a few years haven't you?
It's only a problem when other people want to move somewhere else.
Pray, do tell what you mean by that remark, Stu.
You appear to be trying to make a point at my expense.
Not really your expense, more society in general, I made the same point on the climate change thread, we all want a better life for ourselves, like having a house, but bemoan others doing the same.
OK, point taken.
But if/when we move, we'll be downsizing from a 3 -4 bed house ( which is now too big for us) to a 1 bedroom flat, with no stairs, less rooms to heat etc and closer to amenities.
As such, we'll be making a house, fit to accommodate a family of 5 or 6, available to purchase whilst we merely need a much smaller property, ideal for the 2 of us.
I'd venture to call this a sensible solution for all concerned.
So, what IS your problem ?
Oh, and if this "plan" comes to fruition, as with the combining of 2 GP Surgeries into 1 /more houses built on the site, that means the Wadhurst Surgery will be even LESS fit for purpose with said additional patients on their books.
But of course it's easy to jump to conclusions when you don't have this problem....
As I said, it wasn’t specifically aimed at you, but rather a general comment on the situation we face.
More houses are going to keep being built, that’s a good thing, having less GP surgeries to look after more people is clearly a bad thing, but doctors, nurses and receptionists need paying and you can see exactly how people respond to any suggestion on taxes rising to pay for that right here on CL.
My fear is you end up with the problem here, no GPs at all and a bill after every visit to the hospital, that’s a much bigger problem, for many, many people.
The last time I saw a doctor was about 9 years ago. I thought I had a splinter in my hand and decided to remove it. A few days later I had another go followed a few more goes. Turns out I had something growing out of hand. So anyway back then you could get an appointment relatively easy. Turns out I was self operating on a granuloma. The doctor was quite interested and I ended up seeing 3 GP that afternoon, they were all quite interested what I had and what I had done. Believe it or not it is not uncommon for men to have a go at a bit of DIY healthcare.
I had made such a mess I ended up at St Thomas’s having to have real surgeon repair the bodge I had done. I had tried self surgery on my notes at the hospital, which I thought was amusing but the doctor obviously didn’t.
It was a silly thing to do and I’m not the first man to do something like this. I have a real fear this sort of strange behaviour will become more common when people are at their wits end in pain but can’t get to see GPs.
As I get into my 60’s I do genuinely worry what lays in store for me and my wife. At present we are both in fine health but what are the chances we get to the end without having to use the our GP? I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of our health care system, I wonder what could have happened to it.
I managed to see my GP today. I dropped my strides and pants and bent over for my prostate exam, but the rude bastard just carried on pushing his trolley round Asda!
If you wanna know something about me that much, just ask. I'll happily tell you where to go...
I dont give a fuck. It wasnt even directed at you.
You literally quoted me you crank. Getting yourself in a right state.
If you'd actually quoted instead of using screenshot people could see I was answering ROTW but I'm bored with your little pile on now. Just get fucked.
