Really sorry to hear about your and your mother's experience David, sadly this also sounds similar to my experiences with the crumbling NHS.

Thanks! Sorry to hear that too. My British s.o. says the NHS is awful but not quite as bad :(

So sorry to hear about this. What a mess. My entire immediate family works in health care and this all sounds perfectly accurate.

Thanks! Also, nice to know it isn’t just me :)

One annecdote that encapsulates US healthcare for me was a talk I had with a reasonably high up health care executive in his 60s. Told me had been trying to make a diagram showing how care and money flowed around the system for 40 years and had made essentially no progress.

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's health and your struggle with the system. I've worked in hospitals and they are hell for the employees, too.

Thanks for your kind words! I suspected they are bad for employees too; thanks also for confirming
