Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

When I was born I had a cleft palate, which then lead to ear issues and braces. When I started work (23 years ago) I had a leg pain issue that was never diagnosed, but went away….to generalise, I’ve never had an issue getting an appointment, I or my parents have never had to pay anything (Prescriptions aside), with my leg I think we had to wait up to 3 months for certain appointments, like the op, ~90~% stuff was quicker.
I rang my new doctors after 8am on Monday, triage call Wednesday, doctors appointment Friday noon. I’d only joined a couple of days before. It’s underfunded and understaffed, but the NHS is a diamond. Absolutely baffles me that people think a for profit service could be better.
Hope you don’t mind me jumping on your comment.
No problem at all!
I know several people who wouldn't still be around without the NHS. A diamond is understating it!
