NHS
i have suffered with severe back pain for years, i can only walk for very short distances, and haven't been able to work for ages. (not as fun as it sounds)

i first saw a consultant at the NHS 2 and a half years ago. i had an MRI scan and was told i had "mild" arthritis....i haven't.

1 and a half years later a different consultant told me i had 3 badly diseased discs and i needed and operation...he decided this by looking at the SAME scan as the first bloke!

eventually i got referred to a private hospital, except they referred me for the wrong thing.

months later ended up back at the NHS...waited around for fucking hours in the crappy arse out gown, only to be told they had lost the MRI scans and couldn't proceed.

the NHS did fuck all about it and i had to find the scans myself...they were still at private hospital.

turns out the scans were out of date.

i have had to have a new MRI scan (after waiting for a few more months)

i am back to where i was 2 and a half years ago....right at the bottom of the waiting list...all due to some twunt diagnosing me wrong, some fucker putting the wrong code on my referral form, and some badgercock losing my files.

now i am reduced to selling my guitars to try to pay the mortgage.

but it's ok...because the hospital have apologised.

wankers.
