More NHS Horror Stories

With the dismal dawning of the Age of Obamacare, the multiple horrors of the UK’s version of health care presage what lies ahead in our medical and custodial lives.

The United Kingdom’s National Health Service, the NHS, has been in place for some 62 years now; its birth and implementation were not merely coincidental with the decline of Great Britain as one of the world’s great powers.

It’s becoming tedious writing about the NHS and its regularly-occurring tales of malpractice and mispractice, long wait times for critical care, the monumental expense, its disorganization, etc.

However, with the narrow passage last month of Obama’s legacy bill and with the possibility of repealing that legacy after the November elections, it’s crucial to keep in mind the many flaws of socialized medicine.

I have already detailed in this space some of the numerous instances of misdiagnoses, incorrect and withheld medications, denials of treatment, mismanagement, staff shortages, staff disregard for patients, unsanitary conditions, and, worst of all, the NHS’s utter disregard for premature infants born even 3 days before the arbitrary 22 week cut-off point for any care.
