For 18 months I have been treated for breast cancer by wonderful NHS. I have had two surgeries,chemotherapy,radiotherapy heart scan and CT scan and my first mammogram.Now on targeted therapy for 3 years. I have not had to worry if private health insurance would cover my expensive treatment.
Please don't support politicians that want to replace the #nhs by the American heath model. This includes Farage and Reform. Check out his policies and backers.

Me: "Oh man. Well, how long is that going to take to fix, because I've got a _lot_ of stuff that needs doing."

The noosphere is pulling no punches today. This is the more tame content.

Don't let them try to convince you that "America is full."

The United States is one of the least densely populated countries in the Global North and we accept one of the smallest per capita numbers of refugees in the world.

We have plenty of space for immigrants. Period.

… and almost all of the CT scanners are down. Waiting will definitely make me less anxious about this test.

"I see you were fond of playing the Devil's Advocate," Saint Peter said.

"Er... The name isn't really..."

"No, I know. 'Devil's Advocate' is a specific job, and that is allowed."

"So I'm good?"

"No, because you weren't doing that specific job, you were just being a dick online."

CTPA this morning.

Fingers crossed and highest pretest probability: focal/lobar pneumonia
Next most likely, not good but could be worse: PE
Reasonable possibility, sucks, but at least it makes some decisions for me: progression of malignancy
