> i don't think that going private is the answer though, my sister is a doctor and says that the NHS still has a better proportion of talented doctors, who seem to be more dedicated and knoledgeable because of thier situation.im very suspect of private healthcare,there have been quite a few fuck ups.and seems to be less accountability.
I don't mean to be rude to you or your sister, but I think that there is quite a lot hostility towards private practitioners from NHS doctors.
Moreover this hostility is often more based on prejudice than reality.Its just that the best doctor I ever saw was private, far kinder and more helpful than any NHS docs!
I had previesly been warned that all private doctors were "out for themselves" by my GP.
I imagine that quite a few "fuck ups" take place on the NHS to!
There are good docs working NHS and private, you just have to find them!
