What Is Wrong With Our Nhs?

[Caran]

OH is very, very deaf. He should have had a Cochlea ear inplant just before Christmas but it was cancelled two days before. He needs his ears cleaning out every 4/6 weeks. He last had it done February. I did phone in April and they said they would sort him out. I phoned today again. I was told they are not doing this procedure now due to government regulations. He is getting so depressed about this. He suffers from a very narrow ear channel. It's the width of a needle so gets blocked so easily. Conversation is an absolute no no. Everything has to be repeated umpteen times. It's very frustrating for both of us. But there seems to be nothing we can do.

Is he using warm olive oil twice a day anyway? That will at least help it to drain a bit by itself. The rest, I think is covid at the moment.

I use a product called Debrox, which is exactly the same as the Otec. Works every time!

True, as well as having to deal with week-end drunks, vanity cosmetic surgery, learn to live with your big nose, sticky out ears small/large boobs, and self inflicted problems like drugs.
The NHS was designed to deal with illness, it cannot continue as it is. Nowadays you're no-one unless you have a therapist, often on the NHS, people are all suffering from anxiety when in fact they're simply a bit p'd off.
Go back to the core NHS and get people in there who can manage the vast funds received.
