Does anyone else feel like there is a societal collapse impending in the uk? Public sectors striking is a real possibility with autumn winter? Energy price hikes? Inflation? Energy crisis? Crumbling public services? I saw on the news yesterday that 80 percent of dentists are not taking on nhs patients and people were sticking plastic to their teeth? Cost of food increasing? New pm? It just feels like endless disaster one after another, I genuinely cannot see a way out…
A few months ago I saw someone that works for devon doctors/111 saying the wait list for a dentist in devon in 9 years!

Is a house coat the same as a dressing gown?
That's one thing I've never understood, I couldn't imagine wearing my dressing gown during the day!
If I'm cold, I put on a fleece or a jumper, never me dressing gown!
What I imagine when I think of a house coat:

The breast clinic should see you within 2 weeks if your GP makes an urgent referral. Quote the NICE guidance to them and see if they can sort it out: https://www.nhs.uk/ipgmedia/National/Breast Cancer Care/assets/Referraltoabreastclinic(BCC).pdf

A friend of mine has 55 week wait for investigations. They can go private and get an appointment within a couple of days. Cost of £5k. 🤷‍♀️

The media are saying it's just like the 1970's so I wonder what happened then and how we solved the problem?
