š§µ 1. On Christmas Eve, I experienced first-hand what it feels like to require the urgent help of paramedics and A&E staff when my daughter suddenly collapsed and became unconscious on the kitchen floor! 
2. I called 999, and despite my sheer panic, the controller talked me through how to check her breathing and roll her over into the recovery position. As she began to come around, she was sick and couldnāt see anything! Her body was burning up; causing her to become unconscious
3ā¦again. The controller asked me to check her breathing. It was very shallow, and I struggled to find a pulse. He then asked me to locate her allergy Jext pen and inject her! In my panicked state, I couldnāt find it! Within 13 minutes, @SECAmbulance paramedics arrived.

As a grateful beneficiary of the excellent Public Health Service in France - accessible, affable and quick to act I watch the systematic, and Tory ideology driven, death by a thousand cuts to justify privatization, of the NHS with dismay!

To make matters worse there appears to be the āgeneralā indifference of a general public that seems to accept that āclappingā for the NHS is equivalent to āfightingā for the NHS!
IT IS NOT!
Donāt be āgaslightedā!
Healthcare is a right not a privilege!
Anything but Tory!

Im watching #UnvaccinatedDocumentary and prior to having a #vaccineinjury i would have been right on board with Hannah Fry.
But theres so far been a couple things that i realise are scientific narratives that arent really true
But theres so far been a couple things that i realise are scientific narratives that arent really true
1. Fry said the ONLY way we know something is caused by the vaccine is monitoring it to see if it occurs above expected levels
This isnt true & a mathematician shouldve been more accurate. Such studies determine whether POPULATION risk is increased (still not necessarily causal)
This isnt true & a mathematician shouldve been more accurate. Such studies determine whether POPULATION risk is increased (still not necessarily causal)
But do not tell us whether INDIVIDUAL harm is causal.
It actually doesnt matter at a population level for individuals, which makes risk quantification difficult.
Eg i might be the only UK vax injured with pulmonary emboli

It really is unbelievable that the whole world is watching our fellow humans die on the streets+in the houses of Ukraine and the Tories have absolutely no intention to sanction Russian Banks before Putins friends have moved their money.
Not a bit of remorse

The irony is, if I may add this detail, that many NHS Nurses like me are regulars at Food Banks. And have been for a while.
So here we have Tory MPās taking a brutal War Lordsā money by the tens of thousands and STILL accept that heās murdering a COUNTRY while NHS staff despair.

Hereās a little thread about health. Me and my oh have had covid then we had double vaccinations plus a further booster. My oh has had a cold for two weeks that has developed into a chest infection. How do I know? Well Iām a paramedic and I have asthma and can spot a
Chest infection from across the room. I have temp stethoscope pulse oximetry here at home. I also know I should not treat my own family members. You arenāt objective if you do. Also as part of my job I face people who have covid may have covid or are otherwise infective with
Nothing more than a paper mask disposable gloves and a thin plastic apron between me and them. Iām expected to do a thorough examination and make decisions about where to take them who to refer them too etc.
Thread (1/4):
Do you know what it might cost you personally if the UK moves towards a US-style healthcare system?
Blood test: $100-$300
Giving birth: $9,000-17,000
Breast cancer $15,000-300,000

The government claims we should not worry about the Bill.
But that is just not credible.

If more GPs fall ill with COVID, LESS people can be supported and / or seen.
My family and I continue to receive outstanding support from our GP, including phone and video appts and even home visits.
Your lies are dangerous.

as Jon Trickett MP has stated: 265 GP Practices closed permanently during the pandemic. "Itās completely unacceptable for the government to seek to blame doctors for the NHS crisis.
Blame lies squarely in Downing Street."

1. Polite notice:

2. I have been on Twitter for many years but only become more active over the last couple of years because of the desperate circumstances we find ourselves in. Yes, I am vocal and passionate and sometimes I might use hyperboles and emotive language.
3. But, I try to back up everything I say with evidence from reliable and factual sources. I may not get it right every time, thatās the point of debating. So please donāt get offended if I produce some facts that ride roughshod over your point of view or personal prejudices.

Just In Case You Missed This
Exposed!
2010, health spending was 5.4%
It is now about 1.4%
"A percentage change" or decrease or fall of - 74%
This is the lowest in 70 years - Say IFS
Hence, NHS was in crisis even before the Covid 19 Crisis!

please britain, donāt let your nhs die and adopt the american system/get sold out to our companies. its awful. more awful than you can imagine. dont let it happen
hey UK? do you want to watch the people you love spend their dying breaths battling insurance companies? want to negotiate the price of your chemo or your firstbornās NICU stay? save your NHS or end up like us, in millions of little hells.
in the US we take cabs so as not to pay thousands for ambulances. in the US we cross borders to buy cheaper insulin. in the US, people who get serious diagnoses sometimes kill themselves to avoid bankrupting their families. dont let it happen to you, UK!
