Why do hospital staff always assume that no one’s time is as important as theirs? There is waiting to see the receptionist, waiting to see the nurse, waiting to see the doctor and waiting for results. Why does it take weeks or even months to receive test results? I don’t know of any other country in the world where waiting is an integral part of medicine. In Britain, patients must wait to be seen, they must wait for tests to be done and then wait for the results of the tests and they must wait for treatment. The waiting is accepted by everyone (patients, doctors and nurses) because it is usual. But it is only usual in Britain. Patients in other countries are accustomed to getting their test results given to them within hours at most. And outside Britain, patients who have symptoms are investigated promptly and treated promptly. I can never forget that it is the waiting which has caused Britain to have the worst cancer survival rates in Europe.
No one working in health care seems to realise that all the waiting (for test results, X-ray results, appointments, etc.) produces stress which is bad for the immune system. And it interferes with sleep which is also bad for the immune system. Jean Paul Sartre showed (in The Wall) just how devastating it can be if you mix worry and waiting. Eventually all men go mad. Even patients waiting for emergency treatment in A&E departments must sometimes wait to be seen – and die while waiting. This compares poorly with, for example, Switzerland, where everyone is seen within 15 minutes at the most.
A young teenage girl we know has to wait 10-14 days for the results of a biopsy of a breast lump. That’s 10-14 days of terror while she waits to find out if she has cancer.
When I was a house surgeon in hospital, we used to perform biopsies on patients with breast lumps and then, while the patient was still on the operating table, send the sample off to the histology department to be examined. (The patient would have signed two consent forms. One for a biopsy and one for more major surgery if necessary.) We would stand around gloved and masked and the patient would remain anaesthetised. The results came back from the lab in 20 minutes.
No patient should have to wait more than a day for a biopsy result unless the hospital is run by sadists or incompetent bureaucrats, or a mixture of both.

There is talk that Putin might nuke London. If he were to do that he would destroy the House of Commons, the House of Lords, 10 Downing Street, the BBC, Buckingham Palace and the Daily Mail.
Nuking London would be like nuking DC. Nobody would miss it, and it would end up freeing the masses from inept leadership.
They aren't even serious about removing killers, legal or Illegal.
Mayorkas admits Biden policy is to let Laken Riley suspected killer go free - Washington Examiner
It is President Joe Biden's policy to let immigrant criminals walk free unless they commit a "serious" offense.
The reality is that there are thousands of immigrants who have been arrested for crimes such as theft and driving without a license, and Biden is doing absolutely nothing to remove them from the country. Instead, he is doing everything in his power to make it easier for migrants to enter the country and stay as long as they want … at least until they murder someone.
Biden puts his reelection before national security
President Biden is putting his reelection before foreign policy interests and American leadership. He is weakening the nation, its interests and its allies.

White House unveils 'unprecedented' 21-state initiative to modernize U.S. power grid
The Biden administration is set to announce a new initiative with 21 states Tuesday to modernize the U.S. power grid, ahead of a summer likely to tax its capacity.
Under the initiative, the participating states will give priority to electric grid modernization efforts, including those aimed at increased capacity and efficiency. The states, all of which have Democratic governors, will also commit to exploring ways to expand transmission capacity through legislative and executive action.
Man Describes How Watermelon Is the Latest Fruit To Undergo Chemical Makeover
Each day, the concern about our food supply only seems to grow. It wasn’t long ago when you could buy fruit or vegetables without worrying about artificial additives. But besides pesticides, there now could be even more ingredients to be worried about.
This latest issue is becoming a hot topic of debate. It is still unclear whether it’s being put into our watermelon, but this chemical is found in many foods.
The food dye erythrosine, also known as FD&C Red No. 3 and Red Dye 3, is the culprit. This artificial dye, banned in countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union, is still legal in many places, including the US (except California, where it’s also prohibited). Despite the FDA banning it in cosmetic products three decades ago, our food, such as candy, baked goods, cereals, and snack foods, still contains it. If you’re old enough, you may remember your favorite lipstick being discontinued when this happened, yet we can still consume it and feed it to children. It’s unbelievable. The potential health risks associated with this dye are a cause for concern and include hyperactivity in children, neurological side effects, cancer, and thyroid tumors seen in lab animals. Dr. DeBease revealed that American law prohibits the adulteration of watermelon, making it less likely to be found here; however, it’s still possible. More concerning is that it’s found in many prepackaged foods on store shelves today. Perhaps testing could tell us conclusively whether it’s in our melons, too.
It is not just food, or makeup, but in your meds too. I was taking 135 mcg of Synthroid just fine. Biden changed the seller, and I reacted to the Bluelake dye. 3 skin conditions. That took nearly a year to clear. Cradle Cap at 72?

When the call comes to work against the government I have to agree they are terrible. I make one request. Don't think Labour is better. I'm in my 70s and there's a reason most of those years have been under Tory rule...we always find out that Labour is full of hypocrites.
Why Are We Waiting?

yeah and after waiting when your labs are screwy the response (where I live) is almost always, "you're find, don't worry, it's the altitude"...

Yep! We need a new cabinet post in the White House. BS Chief!
That is for sure!
