        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.

        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.

        That very much summarizes my own experience caring for my mother. It's crazy. You have my sympathy.

        Sorry to hear of this struggle and your mother's condition David. Your clear elucidation of the problem is a service to all of us however.
