The thing about all this, which I am sure that others know all too well, but which I am now experiencing on a personal basis for the first time, rather than as an observer, is that urgent does, in the case of the NHS, have a very different meaning to that which it has in any other context. It implies a need for speed and conveys a sense of stress, neither of which is reflected in the actions taken.

What I am also discovering is that the NHS is excellent at sending information without explanation, whilst providing no opportunity to ask the most basic questions to secure understanding.

But of course that is not what Spud will conclude now, is it?

It would be all too possible in this circumstance to blame the NHS and state care, but I am not persuaded that that is appropriate. I think the depersonalisation of what is described as care, but which should properly be described as process, is deliberate and is a consequence of the medical-industrial complex.

Nope, he ain’t, is he?
