Rob,

Quite frankly – as others have already stated – you don’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of getting any compensation or damages.

Please tell us that you haven’t parted with any money, or passed any personal financial details to this Egyptian solicitor.

She needs to give the sensor on her camera a good cleaning….. 😎

no offense 27vet but Ibanez guitars are rubbish. 😎

And yet they’re good enough for Eddie Van Halen. 😎

I quite agree – I have never suggested that we could or should learn from the USA. In fact we do not need to travel far to do what is necessary. Our health service was, once, and justifiably, the envy of the world, until it became overburdened with systems, targets, analysis and layers of unproductive management. We need to return to a decentralised service, run by people who understand medical care, for the patients.

Now that, even though I still think JoeyR is rather exaggerating the amount of ‘dead wood’ in the system, is something we would probably all agree with.

Would Joey (or anyone else) happen to know what proportion of staff in the US healthcare system deliver front-line patient-facing medical services?

OK, I’ve had a bit of a clean-up.

Some of you really should know better than to rise to the bait!

I’m sorry for being so snarky last night, OLDCROW.

I’d been up since 4:30, and I should have long since been in my bed. 🙁

Regards
