NHS Caption Competition

My wife has worn a hearing aid since she was 13, for the last 10 years she has had to wear them in each ear. On a recent trip to have a new mould made she was given a form for the new digital aids, on which the last entry states "please give any reason you feel should give you priority over other patients waiting for assessment". So the NHS is not assessing patients by their needs or how long they have suffered but leaving it for the patient to come up with a catchy caption!
Anyone with a medical condition might do well to start composing in case it moves to other spheres of medicine.

You could say:
The NHS is worse than shit, along with most of the people it employs .... but my opinion could improve to thinking it's only shit, if you give me treatment.
PS I don't want any Superbug, C-Diff or E-coli from you during my treatment - life is short enough without you uncaring bastards terminating it prematurely

I must say I think the NHS is pretty crap at the moment, I've been waiting for a hospital appointment for 9 months now, it was meant to be in January but has been cancelled 9 times so far, the best bits being two cancellations in one week and a letter this week cancelling an appointment that had already been cancelled two months ago!!!!

nachovx said "The NHS is worse than shit, along with most of the people it employs".
Thats a pretty sweeping generalisation, not just of the system but the employees too.

Should think yourselves lucky. Some people seem to forget how shit it was under the tories. I`ve a mate who had a fucked kneecap, too much weight or pressure or strain and it`d cave out from under him. Took 3 years to get an operation. And all the way through that he couldn`t work and had to survive on dole money

It was actually meant as an ironic comment and not to be taken seriously, which you obviously did, A failed attempt at humour
