Do we have any need for the NHS now that we have the internet ?

just had an endoscope exam. Like being attacked by the Alien (sigourney weaver film).

I think you might need Doctors to do that.

Plus your imagination can make you believe you have anything..

I had appendicitis at ten - which put me in a coma for a week. the pain was so excruciating I passed out screaming. Without surgery it would burst and kill you.

Tonsilitis can do the same.

without an NHS - one incident in your life can leave you bancrupt having to pay medical bills.

look up PRINCE's Girl friend (vanity/denise mathews) - in her memoir she admitted that her lifestyle had left her needing 23 surgeries and dialysis three times a week. She couldn't afford the medical bills.

Could those things not be done by the community, with the help of the web.
A lot of people are capable of doing their own plumbing and electrics, a lot of untapped skill and perhaps most would even be prepared to give their skill and knowledge for free if they could help someone.

NHS yes.. Local GP's not so much. I had one Doctor.. Recently retired..  who must have been labouring under the misapprehension that I was one of his own profession.. Every time I went to see him he would ask.. What would you like me to do?

Absolutely not:
