See also dentists. I switched to private and it was the best thing I ever did. Granted I was forced into it and I bitterly resent being squeezed for more national insurance but the standard of care is incredible.This chaps my ass, not gonna lie.
The scandal should not be that "NHS" doctors were providing private healthcare (plastic surgery aside) during the pandemic. Has nobody stopped to wonder why doctors were willing to keep working normally as long as they were paid for it?
The private health sector looked at COVID, assessed the risks, and decided to take some safety measures - but they continued to you know, help people who were able to afford it. I am glad that these filthy capitalist pigs did so because I actually needed a lot of help during 2020-2021.
The sainted NHS saw COVID as the perfect scapegoat for how completely abysmal they are. The hospital backlogs, the ambulance wait times, all the chronically ill people who were not able to get the help they needed - all that shit has been going on long before COVID. The pandemic was just an excuse for these "heroes" to fish for asspats, all the while closing the hospital door on your face. We can't see you face to face, we are postponing your surgery, etc. Delayed test results, less referrals, less follow-up. Dead people.
The outrage should not be "LOOK AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO GOT PRIVATE SURGERIES WHILE THE NHS WAS STRUGGLING OMG".
They should be foaming at the mouth that the same doctors that did these surgeries allegedly also work for NHS, but they were either paid off or blocked off by policy from doing their damn job.
Who knew that the working for the right price can provide better protection against COVID than vaccines, social distancing and masks?
Amount of bug eaters who foam at the mouth if you dare suggest that though is insane.
