I wish to add my support for all those who work in the NHS. A recent facial melanoma was dealt with efficiently and with great care. I am so grateful. First,my overworked GP referred me to St Mary’s hospital. I was seen within eight days, operated on the same day, and called by the consultant surgeon two days later who gave me the all clear. Although she looked to me approximately 16,I’m not even certain if she was a junior doctor or a consultant, which shows I guess how much we assume the NHS for granted. For how much longer, or I wonder?I thanked her profusely and asked if the routine follow-up appointment in March would be with her. “Unlikely,” she said, “I’m moving to New Zealand next week. Coincidence or a sign of the times? There may be pains ahead.
