I had recent trip to
Hull royal.
I had managed to cut a freaking massive hole in my thumb, cutting a daffodil bulb in half checking the viability.
The triage nurse was lovely. She didn't call me a tool like I deserved and even asked a doctor about any risk of poisoning from the daffodil (more to shut me up I think). The x ray person lady put up with me moving when she was taking one of her magic pictures. The doctor I saw was brilliant, no complaints there.
Now the guy who glued my thumb back together, he was tucking fosser! He was podding and poking and squeezing the crap out of my poor lil thumb! It hurt like hell!
Even so he did a cracking job its healed up nicely barely a noticable mark.
So i say, the NHS is pretty bo! I wouldn't swap it for anything. Not even a big block of marzipan!

Makes you go yellow but you're usually out by spring.

Thank you so kindly...

oh yeah
thems is well poisonous! If you eat them. Get in a cut and apparently it is a very good antiseptic or some such.

Pah., since I was 12, neither my doc or Hull Royal could diagnose my arthritis.
23 years later I use walking canes to get around. Yeah, it was just "growing pains".
