Fun thing about all this single database stuff (excellent posts btw) is that all those issues of combining them are before anyone even mentions security or anonimity. Which as you can imagine is quite an important thing with a national medical database. Reading accounts of temp workers forced to import and export records manually and combining them ad-hoc like that makes me really queasy, because I imagine as soon as you start pairing data from different systems on the same users data masking goes out the window? Because I bet different systems have different standards for removing what fields and how. If any of the data was even anonymised in the first place! I guess it's all moot because if we had a single unified database of all people and their medical issues in the UK, it'd be sold to private companies within the first 15 minutes of it going online.

What if you exported all of those NHS systems to virtual machines and run them on some ~cloud service~, then created a single, simple and cheap frontend to interface with all of them on the backend

Why not just take that 'spare capacity' under state control. That sounds like something a government can do.

I've never understood the need for unified systems, just seems like a licence to print money that don't work for anyone surely coming up with some kind of XML style data transfer protocol and then enforcing every system to use it is more useful than trying to build one mega system that's shite note: do trains, not computers

It's me, I'm the middle class leftie with private healthcare. Except every single procedure I've had on BUPA has been done in an NHS hospital, by NHS staff just outside hours or filling in gaps. I'm not entirely sure how they're going to get people off waiting lists to this magical group of surgeons sitting around in private hospitals because so far it's the same group of running the surgeries during the day, just with more coffee. Unless of course they're going to get physiotherapists. Thousands of private ones of those. Then they'll say look how much we reduced the lists!

An NHS consultant put me on the waiting list for a shoulder operation in February 2023, was told it could be up to 9 months. In May 2023 I got called to be asked if I'd like it to go to a private hospital to save my waiting. And now I'm due to have it in May 2024, great work. The private consultant of course didn't want to trust the other one, so wanted to re-validate all diagnostics.

Last year one of my relatives nearly 70 was peeing blood. Waiting list was told by GP was nearly 3 years!!!!!! So went private, saw consultant £250 - consultant - took one look, said "you could die from this, I'm putting you top of my NHS list for Wednesday" (it was Monday) so he ended up only paying the £250 not for the op as that was done NHS but if he hadn't paid for the private consultation, he would likely have died. I'm considering going for a private consultation regarding my knee which has osteoarthritis and is getting more 'pointy' by the day covered by a hand-sized what seems to be bursitis. Hobbling around in pain is causing me hip and terrible ankle pain. GP sent me for an x-ray - result supposed to come back in 2 weeks, went to get result last week, "oh it's running at 3-5 weeks now). GP not allowed to send me for MRI despite suspecting that nothing much will show up on x-ray as she thinks soft tissue problem. Waiting list to see consultant 18months - 2 years, then they can send me for MRI (maybe another 6 months wait). Meanwhile, I can't exercise, so I'm getting very very stiff, but I need to exercise because of my relatively new diabetes diagnosis and to stop being stiff! 3 years would put me in my late 60s and probably with severe mobility issues, almost certainly grossly overweight (even 2 months of limited exercise - my weight isn't increasing but I am turning into a suet pudding). This is all a confection to more or less force people who can afford to to go private. It's the same with all manner of niggly things such as getting your ear wax removed - affects balance, quality of life etc (I need it doing every 2 years), and I'm sure mental health (I've been told by people with hearing difficulties how tiring it gets trying to keep up with conversations and also seeing my dad as he lost most of his hearing before he died, my mum has hearing aids now but we still have to repeat everything 3 times and you get fed up with it) yet the GP surgery won't do it any longer, NHS waiting list is at least 6 months, so hand over £55 to get them sucked out privately. Or people with mobility issues who can't cut their own toenails for example so nails are cutting into other toes when walking causing bleeding. Anyway, isn't that cartoon antisemitic in the way that MearOne was?

I’ve got private healthcare through work so I thought I’d give it a go; the doc basically told me to go to my NHS doctor as they can’t order blood work through the private system 🤷🏻

It also has a bunch of different variations (one of which is XML based, actually), and each of those has a bajillion different versions, and then every vendor's implementation is inevitably broken in some way regardless of which version they advertise support for. It's fun!

I think he originally shaved his hair off when he got cancelled by GBeebies, muttering something about his situation being the same as concentration camp victims, and I'm also pretty sure his BFF Laurence Fox shaved his head too in solidarity.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Last year one of my relatives nearly 70 was peeing blood. Can you go via a physio appointment? My knee has been giving me grief so I went to a physio. They suggested an xray which took a couple of weeks to get and then a couple weeks more for the results. Showed nothing so they referred me for an MRI. I was lucky that after the appointment on Thursday I got the call at lunch and an invite for an MRI last Sunday. Now just the wait for the results.
