Go is gp lol

again, i'm fine with private practices

even if they provide NHS service

hmm apparently the average wait time for a knee replacement is longer under private insurance than NHS

@wacka here in the UK?

yeah

I'm all for private. Just it was how we roped doctors in a the birth of the NHS

@wacka what's the root cause of that? is it some delay in getting the bone replacement? or is it a backlog?

because not all doctors practise privately on top of the nhs work they do

ah hang on... Im just reading this weird graph wrong 😛

So like, 2 local practices merged so they didn't have to rent 2 buildings - now people have to travel further and get less time with a doc to maximise profit

@Jes i've worked with many bottom feeders from the nhs in my job

one line is NHS wait time, one bar is private cost

So so many wladfa

I must say, the NHS practise I was with when I lived near Coventry was fantastic

so knee replacement is the most expensive.. even more than hip replacement :/

because of perminent mental health issues, they treated me extremely well

Kinda makes sense wacka

the one i'm with now around MK is awful

Knee is more complicated joint

Also one would want to explore all the reasons for why it would be more expensive

but as we know, price is a complex thing

There is also a treatment gap between men and women.
Women get priority service

Imagine my shock

Which I'm fine with

Just don't claim equality

I would be fine ...

yes

exactly

If you don't actually want it

fully my position

Jes preaching to the choir lol

exactly haha

I'm okay with being disposable.

Being the disposable sex I mean

i'm not ok with it, but I understand that nature doesn't need to reason itself to me

Just society needs to chill out attacking men when that's the burden we bear

I don't want to be disposable, but I'm not tone deaf enough that I think it's oppression that this is the case

Yeah it's biology and psychology

exactly

Which is why I'm okay with it
