And this is what the dream would bring us:
Man collapses with ruptured appendix… three weeks after NHS doctors ‘took it out’
After weeks of excruciating pain, Mark Wattson was understandably relieved to have his appendix taken out.
Doctors told him the operation was a success and he was sent home.
But only a month later the 35-year-old collapsed in agony and had to be taken back to Great Western Hospital in Swindon by ambulance.
To his shock, surgeons from the same team told him that not only was his appendix still inside him, but it had ruptured – a potentially fatal complication.
In a second operation it was finally removed, leaving Mr Wattson fearing another organ might have been taken out during the first procedure.
And there isn’t a bloody thing he can do about it – and the system, being government-run, simply will not care about this or 10,000 other life-threatening/taking screw ups. When government runs the health care show, the patients are last on the list of concerns. Why? Because governments are interested in power, retaining power, increasing power and, of course, the quiet life – there’s no upside for government to do a good job for the schmucks who make up the general public. Heck, you start spending money on providing services for the people, and there won’t be enough money for juicy raises for the unions, or fat pensions for the officials…
I’m telling ya, people, if Kennedy’s dream becomes a reality, it will be our nightmare.
