Sorry to hear that.
Get well soon frank.
Thanks for your sentiments chaps I do appreciate it :)
Silly old fart here went and had a bloomin heart attack on New Year's Eve and came out of hospital last night :(
Cuts or no cuts, let me tell you a huge NHS machine swung into action immediately and pulled out all the stops to make a silly old fart like me every bit as important as the Duke of Edinburgh. Paramedic arrived in a car in less than 2 minutes after the 999, then a full size ambulance arrived in another 10 minutes which has direct telemetry to the main hospital in Plymouth some 20 miles away. The ambulance arrived at A&E and in under a minute they were opening me up to fit a stent based upon the charts coming from the ambulance en route, then 30 minutes later straight into the ward with every monitoring machine you could think of wired up neatly - job done.
Tests showed I am type 2 diabetic so need the jabs twice a day now.
So a HUGE heartfelt thanks the people who work so hard and under massive pressures at the front line while the pen pushing arseholes and politicians who think the NHS is only numbers and nothing more continue to mess around with the goodwill and dedication of those poor sods who work harder and harder for less and less.
Finally, a bit fat raspberry to the clowns who decided that a bedside TV service should cost £10 for only 3 programmes actually watched, that interrupting Top Gear is acceptable when the credit runs out and that a patient has no right whatsoever to visit his favourite hi-fi forum because access is denied while strictly confined to bed and cannot even roll over :steam::steam::steam::steam::steam::steam::steam:: steam::steam::steam::steam::steam::steam::steam:

Frank, alas, I'm afraid your last line about that desired change in vocation is no longer in the cards.
Best Wishes,
Barry
PS - Just had a pacemaker put in - not as serious as your situation, but threatened to stop ticking, thus. Maybe sometime you can give me a brief synopsis of how your NHS works. I'm not a fan of ours, too many people whose lives are dictated by medical bills.
The best democracy? The best democracy money can buy that is.

Hey - welcome back, Frank. :thumbsup:
Good to see that a mere heart attack hasn't stopped you ranting off at the stupidities of the world! :D
Gosh. Good to see you back Frank. Hope the recovery continues apace.
Hi Frank,
Thought I hadn't seen you around for a day or two, now I know why :). Glad to see you seem to be back to your usual self mentally at least very quickly and hopefully soon physically as well. Take it easy in the meantime (but take it ;) ).
I echo your thoughts completely on the NHS - I had a TIA just over 3 years ago which put me in their tender care for a few days - medically they were faultless as far as I could tell but the admin/integration between depts/organisational side of things left a great deal to be desired, believe me.
All the very best for a complete and 'permanent' recovery.
Dave.

Frank, as someone who has chatted with you (through forums) for a while now, I just wan't to say how pleased I am to hear you are on the mend!
I have also been diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes, but I am only on tablets....8 buggers a day!
Anyway, to one of the nicest guys on the forum, glad to have you back!
Great to see you back, Frank! :mex:
Take it easy dude... I wish you all the best in making a speedy, full and permanent recovery :cool:
Marco.
Good to see you back Frank!
I don't have a bad word to say about the NHS - especially for those at the cutting edge: whatever has to be done - is done.
It's at time like this you learn to realise what's important in life.
Like you, I have Type II diabetes, but fortunately I am able to manage it by careful with my diet.
So, wonderful to see you back with us and a Happy New Year to you.
Frank, alas, I'm afraid your last line about that desired change in vocation is no longer in the cards.
Best Wishes,
Barry

Happy to say that the NHS takes care of illness first and foremost. I would hate to be in the situation where the stethoscope hits your wallet first and withdraws smartish when the wallet's pulse is too weak to sustain life :eek:
Having said that, while I was in hospital the Serco uniforms were outnumbering the NHS uniforms by a factor of 5, so our health service already has it's foundations undermined by privatisation and "outsourcing".

Could not agree more on the NHS observations, but thankfully the A&E and cardio side is something the bean-counters, efficiency experts, health-boards and politicians regard as a minefield for public opinion.
The cardio specialist centre north of Yorkshire is in Clydebank, ironically conceived in the Thatcherite wave of all things privatisation, built by the arabs as a private hospital, and is now a gem in the NHS crown. My father was sent to this centre of excellence in May, and despite all odds against it, they fought tooth and nail to succeed in recovering him to health and extending his life.
Their professionalism and dedication of these people is exemplary, and it is such a shame that due to the meagre returns they reap, many of these professionals will inevitably go overseas.
The NHS was revolutionary at the time and it's success is something to be proud of, but the accountants have been trying to dismantle it and go back to the american model ever since. Long may they fail.
Glad to see you back and on the way to full health Frank, but I guess the professional male slut role is on hold for a bit.....

Glad to hear that you are recovering Frank. As for the type 2 diabetic problem: there were some medical reports a few months back on a possible 'cure' through dieting. Might be worth you doing a search on that.
As for any suggestions that our medical staff would go abroad in search of better pay and condition: which country would they go to? As I understand it, foreigners with medical qualifications are queueing up to apply for NHS jobs. many of them are from EU member states, and some of those can't even speak or read English. So whether they kill you due to their inability to read the prescription dosage, is not important to the EU bureaucrats. I remember questioning the qualifications of a foreign doctor when my wife was on a life support machine some years ago. The ward manager tried to give me hassle, but I asked him if that information would be officially provided if filed a freedom of information request. My wife was given a better room and free TV viewing the same day. I wonder why :scratch:.

Good to see you're OK Frank :)
Take it easy with no stress and not too much 'physical activity' :eyebrows: as getting past the first 28 days is very important.
Looks like you had very fast treatment so that's great :)
Frank will know all about Heart attacks now as he has been there, done it and bought the T shirt and he is back on the internet and will be reading all about it, for those that don't know the symptoms to look for here are some links:
British Heart Foundation symptoms page, read it then watch the video. (it's a bit dramatic)

Oi Frank! :D
Glad to see you're about again.
Glad to see your on the mend Frank :)
The good news is that you survived it Frank, so now you hopefully will be monitored and treated accordingly. I too have the utmost respect for the NHS. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
All the best sir.... Glad you seem to be recovering well.. :thumbsup:
Glad to hear your ok Frank,
If you want to live a long life youll have to make some changes.
1. Wake up mean and cantankerousness and stay that way till you fall asleep.
2. Complain about everything even if your happy on the inside.
3.never ever smile.
I have noticed that people who follow these 3 simple rules live seemingly forever !
Yep, it is always the scrawny wrinkly miserable old bastids that seem to go on forever, so will do some serious practising in front of the mirror today Jeff :lol:

Good to hear Frank... All the best :)
Have a pint!
At least you have some new speaker cables to play with mate!
My neighbour across the road at heart attack a while ago one friday night, he was back home monday morning all good!
My daughter who is 10 just found out she is type 1 diabetic, 1 week before christmas so changes in our lives for ever!
At least we are all still here not like some of those poor buggers in Italy, captain fu..d off the ship as soon as he knew what was happening!

Yes indeed David, have set aside Saturday for that pleasure :eyebrows:
My daughter who is 10 just found out she is type 1 diabetic, 1 week before christmas so changes in our lives for ever!
I have just been diagnosed as Type 2 at my ripe old age, so a 10 year old with Type 1 must be a lot harder to come to terms with. My sincerest sympathies David.
At least we are all still here not like some of those poor buggers in Italy, captain fu..d off the ship as soon as he knew what was happening!
What a terrible way to die too :( Ranks second to me being mauled by a shark :eek:
