I don't think anyone has ever understood Britain as much as whoever came up with the 'bumpaddle' mag in Arrested Development. There is something uniquely grimy and ridiculous about UK porn.

Everything about Britain is grim and ridiculous. At least in America, when they poison the water supply, they make a national scandal out of it while refusing to do anything about it. In Britain, we're actively pumping poo poo into the rivers and bringing back polio and our press is ignoring it in favour of screaming about trans people and not being able to read "The Lesser Races: The argument to bring back Slavery" in Uni any more.

If I had to define UK porn it would definitely include Readers' Wives, dogging, and Italian Stripping Housewives. Just a real longstanding commitment to wife/cuck stuff. Plus more than a hint of public school ooh matron Freudian nightmares and national tabloids publishing topless 15yos. Maybe the word "smut" neatly sums it all up

Similar but less dramatic- my wife had an ovarian cyst at the end of last year. Was drained in January, and two follow-up ultrasounds booked for February and late march. Both got cancelled (in one case as we were driving to the hospital). Come mid April, she starts getting crippling pains and calls the doctor, who sets up an ‘emergency’ appointment. We never even hear back about that; Easter Sunday she ends up lying on the floor screaming and vomiting from the pain. After calling an ambulance we get told ‘90 minutes’. Two hours later they tell us the ambulance isn’t coming and I carry her to the car and dash to hospital. Ovary had suffered a torsion, gone necrotic and had to be removed- any one of those cancelled appointments would have shown the issues returning. Oh, and she now has a cyst on the remaining ovary that is causing ‘discomfort’. And we’re still waiting for an ultrasound appointment to follow up on that after a fortnight. And all this as we’re trying for a baby. Which is frankly starting to look like an impossibility. Don’t mean to whine- I’m just super loving bitter about it all.

british people aren't even ugly, there's as many good looking people around as anywhere, but the culture seems to lean into ugliness where ever it can be found or invented for some reason, from language to food to fashion to architecture. so the idea of british porn is absurd.

While not cancer ward, Mrs Comrade deals with appointments some weeks and its just a case of backlog problems and staff. Running a ward that's meant to have 8 midwife's with just 4 happens at least twice a week. Someone's having a little cry in the staff room at least once a day. People can moan about the dangers of recruiting from abroad all they like, but the combination of people not training up, those that do train up bailing quickly because of working conditions and the older ones retiring early means there is no alternative. Fun story, Mrs comrade was left trapped in the staff room for 1 hour and 45 minutes the other day with 2 other midwife's. That was half the staff. They had complained about the door being stiff and sticking over 2 months ago, no one came to fix it. They only managed to escape when someone found a sledge hammer.

Sympathies for your situation, hearing that it costs to have eggs stored in the meantime just makes me feel absolutely bleak for you. Like myself and the wife can't afford kids as in we can't afford to raise them, but this is an extra step beyond that which is just so utterly hosed.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Don't mean to make you even angrier, but there's a more than likely chance that those appointments were bumped to make way for a private patient. Anything involving surgical intervention means reserving the time of a consultant, most of which split their time between NHS work and private work, and their private secretaries are straight up monsters. Please don't make poo poo like this up. Resources are stretched and it's far more likely the staff fell sick with stress or COVID. Private patients don't somehow get priority over NHS ones if you're having procedures in the same hospital - they'll have dedicated lists or slots in lists and they will get cancelled all the same. It's a different matter if you're having stuff done in a dedicated private clinic but shared resources do not prioritise private patients. Edit - Also the people doing the scans are most likely sonographers who aren't paid anywhere near consultant rates and have no private patients of their own.

I don't know what to say man, it happened all the time at the hospital I worked at. Maybe our place was just stretching the law because it was in a rich area, but patients absolutely got shifted around to make room so that senior consultants could go do private work instead.

The consultants wouldn't be doing the scans is my point. Also when times are good poo poo like what you've described can happen. When things are bad hospital management absolutely wouldn't let their numbers look bad just so that the consultants to jaunt off to do their PPs. The consultants may well just reduce their hours but hey,  .We've had discussions about if the PPs were being disadvantaged since some of them are still awaiting investigations booked pre-pandemic as only the NHS side of the service got rebooted and due to staffing shortages the PP side never got around to restarting.

Bobby Deluxe posted:That's probably what's happened, to be fair I haven't worked for the NHS since the mid 2000s. poo poo's hosed no matter which way you swing it because the pool of healthcare workers in the UK is limited and when people leave, they leave. Some may transfer from NHS to private but that doesn't increase capacity in the system as a whole, but most are either cutting down their hours, retiring or just going somewhere else. While private work is lucrative, it's still not as lucrative as what it could be in places like the US, the Middle East or Singapore. You'll be rich as a private consultant, but you'll probably end up being equal to the average Tory MP income wise. You aren't becoming a Sunak or Redwood off boob jobs and face lifts.
