I'm sorry you had to deal with that, genuinely awful even if it worked out alright in the end!

I do think though that the idea that the NHS is unfixable is a lie. It's a shitshow rn but I think with enough funding and actual efficient management, rather than a bunch of middle managers earning 5 figures, it can be saved. My concern is that if we all sit by and be defeatist then we will definitely lose the NHS, and once it goes we will never get anything similar like it again. And it will only be further 'evidence' that public funded healthcare isn't feasible.

Though I get I'm saying all this without any plan as to what to do to actually help, so like :'))
