I would prefer a hospital which I can phone to make an appointment, and be given one within the next couple of weeks as opposed to be put on a six month ( or longer) waiting list.

I would prefer a hospital where I can be admitted for an operation if necessary, and not stand a good chance of it being cancelled at short notice, and at times on the actual day of the operation.


I would prefer a hospital which is staffed at realistic levels,and the staff paid at a realistic rate, so that they feel valued and able to put their all into nursing.

*IF* such conditions exist in the UK they probably only exist because NHS exists.

Those conditions don't pertain in much of the US and we don't HAVE NHS.
