Thank you

[Robert Poste's Child]

I couldn't find an existing thread for thank-yous so sorry if I'm duplicating.

I'd like to thank Moorfields for checking out the eye I injured. Although the waiting time in A&E was quoted as 3-4 hours to see a doctor, I went through registration, triage, basic eye test, examination by (very lovely) practice nurse, doctor and pharmacy in around 50 minutes. I'm grateful to live in a place where you can walk in off the street and receive that quality of health service.

Moorfields ?

No wonder you couldn't see I was pulling your leg on t'other thread !

Still don't know what about though as you didn't deign to explain, so I guess it will have to remain your private joke.

Thanks for the concern about the eye injury, though.

That's a nice post. The nhs is far from perfect but to be able to seek medical help without thinking twice about whether you can afford it is something to be grateful for. Hope the whole system doesn't implode under the strain. If it does, then hope that whatever replaces it can still provide equitable care irrespective of an individual's wealth. Hope your eye is fine!

ETA: a lot if hoping in that post!
