They gave me nothing.
Just an appointment for Tuesday morning for more bloods and an x ray

see folks, this is why the NHS sucks and centralized health care shouldn't be introduced to America. I hope they learn their lesson!

That’s in Britain Bune.

Ireland doesn’t have the NHS. Just a similar model.

My brother has spina bifida, and suffered a terrible infection in his lungs due to a shunt detachment back in the 80’s. His wife is a nurse, who will be unable to call in sick and will be repeatedly exposed. His death, after a point, becomes probable.

I’ve read this loads too.

There no way this is a regular flu I’ve been through the ringer the last week especially. But I’m way better now. I’ll take my tim getting to them just as they did coming back to me.
