Well chook, suppose it depends on what you've sampled. If you can count on remaining sound in wind and limb and dodging the stray bits and pieces that occasionaly fly around, flying boots cheap housing and schools sounds good. If you've sampled the goods, RAFH Nocton Hall, RN Haslar V Hammersmith Charing Cross St Mary's and Lon University, the contest was no contest. While gratefull for what is available, NHS versus Service doesn't/didn't compare. When service people come back in a bad way 'family' provide the best care. The day to day ward care in todays NHS apart from the few bright shining exceptions is diabolical with standards that seem to be plummeting by the day. Behaviour that simply wouldn't be tolerated in any service establishment is the norm. Simple ward cleanliness is an exception.
But as I said better than nothing.
