i agree nhs is not great at providing healthcare but at the same time, going to the doctors for a cough? in a way you're a symptom of the problem you face
Owen Adams
You have COVID, you muppet. Why do you want to spread it at your local practice? Stop whining, isolate yourself and recover from your COVID and next time, try observing social distance or wearing a fucking mask.
this >where is my helicopter ambulance to carry me to the saint-thomas-upon-west-westchestershireton hospital where I can be treated for a tickle in my throat
also, this. Should have taken a covid test right away, idk if it shows up a week+ later when the main symptoms are done, but clearly it's covid. I caught it too and was coughing for weeks afterwards.

Sounds like you have monkeypox. No more gay sauna dates for you.

>$5k for an ambulance LOL, you have a lump of beans for a brain too.

>>tfw medical debt goes away after ten years anyway in America if you just avoid paying it ?
Sebastian Gomez
He's not wrong, an air ambulance at least easily costs that, up to 20k if you're especially fucked up in the wrong place.
regular ambulances on average costs "only" like 450-500$

>After enough time has passed unpaid medical debts may become uncollectible under your state's statute of limitations for debt. This means you can no longer be sued for those medical bills. That does not, however, erase the debt or the associated credit reporting. >You cannot go to jail for unpaid medical bills. By law, you cannot go to jail for not paying civil debts. >Most healthcare providers do not report to the three nationwide credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), which means most medical debt is not typically included on credit reports and does not generally factor into credit scores. it ain't perfect, but it's home.
Ryan Cox
NHS is an absolute shambles lad, they should hurry up and privatise healthcare here already and get rid of national insurance. Will never be done sadly and I will have to continue paying for niggers and pakis fresh off the boat whilst I go to the doctor and speak to some darkie who can't even speak english.
