AIBU to ask if...

[howdoesatoastermaketoast]

anyone has any first hand health and social care stories they'd be prepared to share?

in what context?

YABU

Why?

There is a AIBU section with voting if you want to ask it to be moved.

There is no context to your question so difficult to answer.

I had an ingrown toenail treated. It was excruciating.

Something like that?

Oh hi journo.

Ummm. When I had my third covid jab we all had to queue outside. Me and a bunch of very old people. Which was embarrassing.

I got a Chinese takeaway after.

I got a Chinese takeaway after.

Yum.

Im not sure this is in the right place

i mean it could be…its just really hard to tell

I had to go to A&E with a head injury recently. They were great.

I thought the food in the pregnancy ward and postnatal was fantastic. The veggie option was always curry, so I had curry and rice for lunch and dinner every day until discharged.

I stubbed my toe on a rock on Saturday and it's still quite swollen and sore now. I can wiggle it, so I guess it's not broken. Do you think I should go to A+E or not, OP?

I’ve got a headache? Does that count

I like the hot chocolate machine in a&e

There's a Newbourne Close near a maternity hospital.

@IcakethereforeIam Love that!

My surgery uses Econsults now and I’ve found it a very useful service. Seems to work well. You can still see a Dr if necessary but a lot of stuff can be dealt with via email or phone.

When my aunt turned 60 she used to walk to the post office and pick up her pension.

There's huge pressure on District nursing services. Many of them are at crisis point as they're severely understaffed because of Brexit

My 84 year old dad was signed off by his consultant yesterday after having a pancreatic abscess with necrosis last September.

He's been back at work on the farm since May,and is now riding his bike to work,not bad after we were told that he'd likely not survive.

When elderly folk get cancer the NHS funds all their treatment and care.

When elderly folk get dementia they must fund the care themselves. This is usually around £4.5k per month.

I had a grumbling appendix when I was nine and I had to go to hospital but then it settled down and then I went home.

True story!

I had a frozen shoulder and the exercises I was told to do made me nauseous. Anyway, covid happened and my shoulder got better as mysteriously as it had got frozen! Coincidence? Yes, definitely.
