Nope Daerry. Plastic Surgery is 4000$ WITH my insurance. $300 was my blood test and skin screening.

And itâs not technically plastic surgery (shaping the exterior of my nose as an emphasis) itâs EMT-related (actual medical concern which insurance does apply).

We have private health insurance but hardly any people actively opt for it. The NHS subsidises everything fully, and if you do go private you get NHS doctors anyway.
The UK NHS actually has an exceptionally high level quality of care. The problem is being able to actually see a doctor in the first place.
Even our less-essential care (dentist, optometrist) is subsidised to an extent, but itâs regional. England doesnât have theirs subsidised. Scotland does.

It is plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is then split into two branches: reconstructive & cosmetic. Yours would be considered reconstructive.

For us itâs horribly ineffective in quality of care aswell. If youâd look at our news archive, youâd see many cases of bribes (âŚlike taking bribe from CHEMOTHERAPY PATIENTS) or just malpraxis. Healthcare is not rosey in the wild east.

This also happens in the NHS, but I imagine it to be much less frequent.
My local hospital had a bogus neurosurgeon. In once instance, out of many, he was scheduled to remove a tumour and removed a tear duct instead.

This is humorous for morbid reasons.
But anyways, in Romania private clinics are much more prefered because our public sector is terrifying.

Huh.
I was looking into private health insurance in the UK. I am on a TWO year waitlist to see an ADHD specialist. Ridiculous, honestly. And if I paid to go private for my assessment, and saved the NHS money, Iâd have to pay for my medication too. Lmao.

So the end result is me having everything put on the NHS which costs them more money

Sometimes I really feel ADHD. Yesterday I was trying to listen to the hospital secretary (?) that was fixing us the date, the sum and also printed me a list of what I need to do for this procedure, if my mom wasnât there with me Iâd be confused to where to go for my next steps lol

Sometimes I tune in to a british creator and she was covering the Letby case (âthe baby nurse serial killerâ) and she came with an argument that sometimes the hospitals and the equipment being inefficient could increase the chances of infants just dying without anyone bearing ill will.
Is this true?

That case is on-going and I was not present on the jury. I cannot comment.
Iâm sure that inefficient use of hospital equipment if such exists will lead to negative consequences, yes.

By on-going I mean âstill on-going in the public sphere and inquiries are still on-going about negligence etc. of othersâ
She has been convicted of murder.

Here in RomeMania we donât have jury trials, I wonder if it would be more effective for us when it comes to reducing corruption

I think theyâre an integral part to democracy.
That being said, the judiciary tends to be the most trustworthy branch of the powers, by miles.
