hurrah for the national health service and hurrah for science and technology


after two miserable nights with a wisdom tooth that had gone off, worried that i might be overdoing the medication, i betook myself to the new charing cross hospital in hammersmith
i am still stunned, amazed, and overjoyed ... having found myself back on the street and free from pain in less than two hours
the national health service and all the people i have encountered there have been brilliant

  1. Glad you're out of pain! I agree that the National Health is a great and astonishing organisation. So often complained about, so deserving of praise!

  6. I'm shocked, awed, impressed... I'm not sure I could have done that. What was their reaction when you asked to take the picture?
