I had a great week at the Police Rehabilitation Centre.
Many of the physiotherapists were former NHS employees and they were
brilliant (as I'm sure they were when they were with the NHS). All the
health care professionals I saw during the last 10 months were also
truly impressive, but I got my physio treatment as quickly as I did
because I paid into the police welfare fund for 32 years and as a
retiree I am still entitled to apply for treatment.
Now, take
Richard the Third, beaten to death at the battle of Bosworth, 1485, the
location of his remains undiscovered until 2012. After extensive
scientific forensic examinations including X-Rays, CT and MRI scans, the news re King Richard III has just been released.
Taking
into account the lack of health care in 1485, but factoring in his
position in society (he was `King` after all), the population increase
over the following 500 years and the added complication that his remains
were unknown and I roughly calculate that, all things considered, he
still got his MRI before I did

Seems a sad state of affairs that a long dead king got his MRI before you, but that is just par for the course, yeah?
Trob`: The professional health carers in the NHS are the best. My emergency treatment last November (head injury) was as good as it gets, anywhere. But the administration is incredibly cumbersome and even people working in the system can't always tell you what the hell is going on. But all my treatment was `free`.
