Fuck Coma

[Sundae]

Thank goodness for the NHS.
At least before the Tories get a chance to dismantle it.

Not that the rich and powerful need it of course. If you go private (pay for it) you'll get the same treatment as Gabriel Giffords. Extremely expensive of course, but you get to dictate your own treatment (to an extent). The downside of the NHS is form filling and box ticking; especially proving that you need the help.

They were talking of "rehabilitating" Grandad, with occupational therapy and more visits from carers. With Mum fighting on his behalf all the way, Grandad went into a Nursing Home and is now cared for 24 hours. Falls and bouts of diarrhoea and dehydration are all taken care of. Mum managed as long as she could, but he is so in the right place.

Once again I say - thank FSM for the welfare state.
So sorry for those who have no access to care and treatment when it could make all the difference to them or those they love.
