Op v Filling - Which is quicker to get?
The answer on the NHS is - OPERATION!
Yes, what a shock but its true. Last year I developed tooth ache and after that discovered, after calling into a NHS Drop-In Centre, I have a hernia. My own NHS dentist, 175 Royce Road, stopped treating NHS patients. My doctor booked me online for my hernia.
To cut a long blog short… I’m going into hospital next week for an operation for an umbilical hernia and I’ve still not found a NHS dentist for my tooth ache. It only needs filling, my tooth that is - the other needs stitching.
Maybe if I slip the surgeon a fiver he can pull my tooth out at the same time. If so, would he give me a lipo-suck for a tenner and the face of Brad Pitt for £20? Worth a try!
I’m still waiting for Tony Lloyd MP, Labour, to get back to me about this mental dental issue.
Did i see a Polish doctor on the BBC 6 O’clock News this week? The Government pays this GP to fly over from Poland, very tired (Is that safe? Is that legal?) every weekend, and drives him around Aberdeen doing out-of-hours visits. Carbon footprints and more tax-payers money.
Hang on! If it this was the same as NHS dentists it would be a case of.. “Sorry, you’re not feeling well but we can only treat you if you’re at the point of needing a transplant - call back then and we’ll see if we can fit you in… 2 weeks to live.? We only got an appointment in 16 days.. morning or afternoon… you’re at the undertakers that morning.. ok, 2 o’clock in the afternoon for you OK?”
Why don’t they fly a bunch of dentists over from Poland as well, and have mobile dentists going around Manchester doing NHS treatment which everybody has already paid for? Tony Lloyd’s assistant suggested that we’d be taking Polish dentists away from them… but they take their GP’s without batting an eye-lid.
Ouch, hit a nerve.? Hope it hurts more than my tooth Mr Brown!
