Wonderful woman.

This woman is so inspiring. I feel such a waster compared to her.

However, I see lots of posts slagging off the NHS. I'm not going to say it's perfect but I think those that work in the NHS do a great job. I also think that politicians, in the main, want to see the NHS continue in it's current form.

I think from the BBC report the thing that I take from it most and the thing that worries me is a quote from this wonderful woman.

"Before then if you were ill you had to call a doctor and you had to be able to pay. Now all of a sudden, if you were ill somebody would come and see you. All of a sudden there it was, free. It was wonderful.".

Long live the NHS.
