you get to have sex with a nurse afterwards.

Macmillan nurse Sara Dale cared for cancer-stricken wives - then bedded their husbands after they died. The attractive divorcee, 39, has been fired by hospital bosses over allegations she had THREE such romances.

 

(yes, the article has pictures)

 

Eh - get diagnosed with cancer in England, and expect their government-run mandatory health care boards to tell you you will wait 6 months or more before any treatment.

 

Stay tuned...if you actually live.

They fired her for that?? It sounds like she is a dedicated professional, healing spirits as well as bodies!

 

As far as her finding another job, considering all the advertising hospitals do in the US to attract patients, my guess is she'd be welcomed with open arms anywhere on this side of the pond.

I think in the UK pics, some of them were guys.

Ugh. Really ugh. Eyebleach time.

 

But then again I could take pictures of cute girls in UK bars and then ugly ones in Sweden (they do exist in Sweden too!) and then compare on a website. Those pics really look like they were taken in some real ugly dives. Literally.

Depends. If you actually take out health insurance guess what? You go to private hospitals with (normally) great care. Private medicine is not banned in the UK, like you would expect it to be when reading/listening to American commentators describe Helath Care in the UK.

 

If you have no health insurance you can get treatment. Sometimes very good and sometimes pretty bad. But again the examples tend to be cherry-picked according to the motivations of the person giving the example.

 

((And for the record several members of my family have been treated for various cancers by the NHS and overall the treatment was very good and without any six month wait or 'mandatory health care boards' getting involved)).

dont waste your breath/typing. the right has managed to convince Americans to be against something that is there for their benefit, under a bunch of made up fears. no matter what you, Canadians, or other foreigners say, they come back with "Yeah, maybe it works for you, but I doubt anyone else!" like they know what is going on in these other countries better than the actual citizens. people seem to be more focused on the fake threat of "socialism" than being able to see the word "Option" at the end "Government Option".

 

this whole notion that there will ONLY be government medical, and the supposed horrors that would come with, is ridiculous and just plain incorrect. like our health care system is so great as it is, and no one ever waits for treatments. but whatever. just keep on letting the insurance companies screw people over....

 

but ill stop before i accidentally get this thread banished to PPP

Or you could be denied coverage by your insurer. It's all the same.

Or you could be accepted for coverage by your insurer, like every person with cancer I've ever met. So it's not quite the same.

Are you saying they got coverage AFTER they were diagnosed with cancer? So I guess the term "pre-existing condition" is just a lefty myth?

Wife's coworker was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer (the "don't make any plans beyond next week" stage). Insurance still paid for her treatment, despite knowing it was futile, and paid for her hospice care. Insurers aren't universally evil, obviously.

 

But on the other hand, they won't pay for treatment for my broken ankle (they want me to sue someone else for my own clumsiness). They're obviously not universally good, either.

 

And government-run health care isn't going to be any better: there'll be good and bad stories in either case, and if you cherry-pick them you can make any point you want.

Very funny. The pictures make me want to go to that club in Sweden -- now.

 

I have been to both places. Sweden definitely has plenty of talent.

 

London is not as bad as the pictures would indicate. British girls get a slight bump up if they have a nice accent. The really nice thing about London is they draw talent from all over the world (including Sweden - not to mention SA, Australia, and other parts of Europe).

:worthy: That is funny and pretty accurate. I found English girls in clubs to be on the heavy side for the most part and most dress very slutty, showing as much fat as possible. It is unfair for most countrys to compare their girls to Swedish girls. They are beautiful!
