     @HebrideanHecate When I think of the number of people I know who have been waiting years for operations, it makes me fucking livid.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @HebrideanHecate Cosmetic surgery should be on private insurance only.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain It is a disgrace and had we a decent lot of politicians it would be forbidden.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Meanwhile, people are literally begging the NHS for help with serious mental health problems and being told to fuck off (and maybe try a colouring book) because there's no money for psychotherapy.
     
     Fuck 'maybe I should be grateful'. He should never have been allowed to take up time and resources for such a cosmetic procedure in the first place.

     @EatKnitSleepAgain @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain One of my neighbours does therapy for the NHS and he's seriously fucked off.
     He tells me that most people he sees don't want to get well because they'll lose benefits. They self-refer back to him when things get really bad, then carry on as usual, so they're stuck in a cycle of not getting better. He has no way of prioritising patients who might benefit from his time because he doesn't get a say in which patients come his way.
     He refused to take on a referral (a patient who'd been back and forth a few times) and was told by his manager that he couldn't use the word *refuse* because it had negative connotations.
     This is the mess we're in.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain I can only imagine his frustration. No wonder no-one wants to work for the NHS. Meanwhile, these people clog up the system and make it hard for others to get help.

     @EatKnitSleepAgain @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain That's his view. I suspect he'll leave soon.
