I've just been watching the first episode of "Cranford" on BBC1 and I envy the healthcare received by the carpenter who broke his arm in the 1840s...

The carpenter had his broken right arm dealt with as speedily as the young doctor could manage it, and in consequence he did not suffer radial nerve damage and so was able to use his hand again. Nearly two centuries later, having broken my right humerus at the end of August, I am still unable to use my right hand and lift my right wrist and am in very great pain with it. This is because I had to wait 12 and a half days before my arm was operated upon, and during that long, intensely painful time the hand and lower arm became extremely swollen because of the splint I had to wear, and the radial nerve was damaged. I now have to have carers come to help me get washed and dressed and undressed...)o:

Patient welfare has a low priority in the NHS...)o:
