Health

I have to say that my major work as such if you can call it that as I am retired is about the world wide epidemic of Diabetes Type 2, and not forgetting Type 1's, for people who are unaware as to the difference, Type one is when the body does not produce insulin (that is a simple answer), in Type 2 the insulin in the body does not work as well as it might, in both cases the important thing is Blood Glucose levels, bad control can lead to other life threatening problems for you, diabetes also makes you more susceptible to other conditions mainly Heart and Kidney problems, I  have now done a course on carb counting and adjusting the amount of insulin I inject, I am really like a pin cushion and it really aggravates me but it has to be done, anyone reading this should be aware that you really do not want diabetes it is a pain, and it is Progressive so please beware!!.

NHS

Today is about nursing, why does a ward sister have to have a degree??, not only that they will need a masters soon, what has all this to do with nursing sick people, most of the training is at university consequently they are unused to wards, and from what I have seen many younger nurses seem to think that the word CARE does not apply to them, any contact with patients can be left to health care assistants, many of these have no training and many can't even speak English, so how as an elderly patient do you survive?, you have to rely on your family to ensure your well being,atending at meal times to ensure you are fed, make sure you are clean and ensure you get the relevant treatment to your illness, if you have no family you are in trouble. Government can say that they put  vast amounts of money in to health care but just where does it go??, each department has a matron, each ward has a bed manager, a ward hostess just what is all this about?, the changes that this white paper has actioned is a nightmare, it is it  is said that it will give patients more power!, I don't think so, commissioning of health services is a very technical job, not the line of work that GP's are involved in, so what happens if your local hospital looses a lot of its work because your local GP's commission it at another hospital, your hospital CLOSURE, Beware.

The NHS

I love this subject, well we are off, it is said that within 10  years much of the treatment we get for free at the moment will have to be paid for of course by US you and me, that is because so many more of us are surviving longer, I have to say I am very sorry to have got to be an OAP, on my income I would have to select unable to pay switch off the machine, It  is I believe a ploy to eradicate the elderly, my past Blog has spoken about a Housing Association who is trying to charge the elderly out of their homes, so it seems that there is an underlying trend to crush us elderly, I am so sorry to have survived to be a pensioner, and sorry to be a strain on the NHS, but for 50 years I have paid NI and PAYE, now it is my turn to have possibly a little back,  so to the NHS I am sorry if I become a burden but I have paid my way so give it a rest and provide this wonderful service you say you give.

Syria State Police

Now we can see it on film, civilians being abused violently, taken in to custody, that means beatings, threats of electrical torture and finally threats to their wives  and family, a senior police officer said that the orders to do this came from the top, that means that the leadership all of them  should be arrested and put on trial, but of course the Russians will not allow it as it does not suit their plans, so they allow daily death and destruction, the Russians are the resonsible government allowing this death and destruction so should they not be put on trial for supporting the government of Syria?.

Afganistan

So our soldiers go out on patrol, to help the people, what do they get SHOT Dead by someone in a Police uniform, it is just not on, wives & children deprived of their dad's, I know that when you join up you take the chance that you just might geet killed, that though is never in your mind if it was you would go mad, the one thing you must have is the support of the people of the UK, you need this because without it you are lost, it is awfull that you never know your enemy, he might be behind you, to the left, to the right, or right in front, you are on a looser every which way you turn.

Banks

So  the CE of Barclays has gone, so what is this to me?, little or No interest at all, I am more concerned about just what goes on in the World today, so many children all over the World with little or no food especially in Africa, look at all the despots that rule this wounderful continent, but what happens Wars all over, many different Muslim groups trying to exert their wishes on every one, but there are others, just destroying everywhere, it is a crying shame that we the West cant stop this mayhem and save these people from death.

Syria once again

Just seen the news, the Russians do not want a west replacement for the leadership of the country, well who is going to lead it out of the mess it is in not the Russians, life to the leadership in Russia is the same as in Syria, no real human rights oppressed women, and killing means nothing to authority, so where does the UN go, no where really, someone has to take control, and stop this killing before it is to late, and as I have said before to late was yesterday, I hate to see these children crying on the street waiting to die, just how sad is that!!!!, the world needs to wake up talk is no good action is needed now!!!.
