We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Elder saying something like:
Bloody hell. Sometimes it's shit.

Aye. The stupid thing is that whilst you're working you're paying plenty of tax etc. By having massive waiting lists, the NHS and Govt actually cost themselves money.

Nah, Shit is being told you have a heart problem that requires a long visit to a hospital in London to do heart surgery that only one bloke in the whole of Britain can do, and he's never actually done one, but has studied the American way of doing it. Considering I live in Scotland, London is a bit of a trip, and I would have to go alone, because my three kids go to school/and or live at home and my wife works. The three kids are upset over my condition because they know about it because they had to be screened for it. The wife is upset because she will lose me (silly bugger!). I don't get paid for being off sick ie. I get statutory benefit, but I do have a large mortgage which needs to be paid. (I've already used up the insurance on the mortgage) This means I'll be away from my family who will be booted out of the house I can no longer pay for and may probably die in a strange city with no relatives to comfort my last moments, (according to my cardiologist, who has grave doubts about the outcome). Is it any wonder I have elected to stay at home and work, and take my bloody chances. And no, I don't qualify for a transplant, or mobility etc.
