Labour Meets Its Manifesto Pledge Of 2 Million Extra Nhs Appointments

[Hymie]

Even now, I can see TTT’s house adorned with bunting celebrating this achievement, soon to be followed by fawning posts from him on AB saying ‘How pleased are you that you voted Labour now?’, and such like - but then again, perhaps not.

 

Don’t expect much coverage of this in the right-wing media, who along with TTT have been demonising the Labour party forever.

Also forgot to add the physiotheraist imforms my doctor of my visit and advice and treament given. The first thing they ask is your doctors name and surgery.

[naomi24]

Fat lot of good that is when your doctor hasn't seen the injury and hasn't sent you for a scan to ascertain what the problem is.  I went to a physio without having a scan and was treated for Plantar fasciitis.  It subsequently transpired that I'd broken two bones in my foot.  Similarly, with a back injury which has resulted in permanent nerve damage in my spine.  I should never have had physio on either.  Your advice is dangerous, nicebloke - and that's not smart.

Nicebloke, you have written a complete load of tosh.

And yes, I do know, my wife works in the NHS and one of my daughters is a doctor.

So where is YOUR evidence to back up the usual load of rot you spout?

[ToraToraTora]

YMB: "Nicebloke, you have written a complete load of tosh." - that's pretty standard, worry when he starts making sense!

[nicebloke1]

Its obvious your trying to twist my experience of knee / leg injury into advice, I wonder why:0)

Shall we say naomi is right again and I'm wrong, but my injury has now repaired:0)

Now off for more music lessons and have fun. Have a good day all

[naomi24]

No one is twisting your posts, nicebloke.  You're complaining about people using the NHS when they could self-diagnose through the internet and get treatment elsewhere - and it's nonsense.  

[youngmafbog]

It's one of y daughters pet hates people Googling the problemmand then trying to tell her.

Mind you good luck to them, she is pretty fearsome :-)

[nicebloke1]

So your daughter dont aprove of the NHS web site then that gives people advice? And that advice normally concludes in, if there's is no improvement within 3/4  days contact your doctor. Whatever your problem maybe theres advice there much the same as there is if you ring 111.

"I've had a knee/ leg injury now for getting on 8 months. I stooped down and when I got up the pain was dreadful, leg/ knee was bent, couldnt straighten it out, no chance of walking. I spent 3 days in a chair, but spent that time surfing the net and the NHS site for possible answers, there were a few different possible things I could have done."

I've just entered your symptoms into the NHS online help. It returned by saying :

"Avoid using the injured limb.
Support the limb, but do not straighten anything that looks out of shape.

Get help now"

And provided me with the details of my nearest A&E
