Oh wow hate to hear that. When I visited the UK in 2018 I really loved it. So much so that I was researching areas to live and a path to moving there but it never panned out.

18 month wait for a simple MRI is ridiculous. Do people have to wait or can they choose a different doctor / dentist? I am in the US so while I wouldn’t have to wait it would cost me an arm and a leg. Even with insurance through my employer I still would owe.

It really does feel like the world is heading backwards right now.

Most GPs are completely booked up unless you live in a town no one cares about meaning its nigh on impossible to just find a different doctor, same with dentists. Something like 80% of dentists are not taking on new patients.
