For reasons I won't go too deeply into here, the company emergency medical system went titzup -
However, after pointing the possibly very serious implications for a young airline pilot "taking two aspirin 4th hourly and coming back after 9.00 on Monday" - (I had to be quite insistent), I (and he) couldn't fault the treatment he eventually received.
So basically the private medical system failed and the much maligned NHS (eventually) came up trumps.
As I never tire of pointing out on here I have never voted Labour in my life, but as a long term cancer sufferer and husband of a (now retired) midwife I am an enthusiastic supporter of the NHS. I dont see the two positions as being incompatible, and can't understand why being in favour of our NHS makes me a leftie
