From what I can figure out of the English system from reading and anecdote, I think I have a pretty good picture of it.

My take on your stories is that you are of the higher classes, since everyone I speak with tells me that in the better neighborhoods, the NHS treats people quite well. Is this true? Of course, here the better classes also get very good treatment…

One of the main complaints I hear about is dental, interestingly enough - an American ex-pat I know says that his kids’ teeth are so bad that he had to save up thousands of dollars to get them decent dentistry in the US when on vacation. (Of course he is of the better classes, and says that otherwise the system more or less works for him.)

It seems that the British class system once again trumps everything, and that the Liverpool sedation protocol is probably not being used on the upper classes to save money.

Your take on this, please…
