cost of private health care

[gzoom]

And from the outside that is one of the biggest issues whether that is fair or not I don't know

I can probably get double my salary in a private company, I get called up to coroners court on a regular basis with a potential worst situation of getting charged with man slaughter.

I start at work at 6am, and most weekends are spent writing reports. I've had finger literally on someone's beating heart, I've told young families they will never see their husband/wife again after failed 2222 attempts and than have to go straight to another 2222 call, I've done 36hrs shifts because of staffing issues.

If I worked my hourly 'rate' its probably less than what the junior doctors are striking about. I LOVE my job because it's the NHS and there is so MUCH work to do......on top of my Medicine degree I have an MD, x2 Diplomas, x2 PcG Certs, and currently doing a MBA equivalent in my 'spare' time. I do all this because I want to better at my job, not because I want more ££££.

If making ££££££ was my main drive, I'm pretty sure I can find a less stressful and lucrative path....private work for example .

I'm sorry but I don't understand the statement about burning your boat. No matter what deal I may or may not have with a private provider will have no effect on my care if I turn up at A&E requiring treatment and I'm gobsmacked you think there would be a problem.

I don't mean emergency care in A&E, I'm talking about the NHS telling you that it's not their job to sort out a mess left by a private hospital (assuming it's something that would have been covered by the NHS if you hadn't gone private).

Suppose someone jumps the queue for a hip replacement, comes out with a limp worse than they had before, and gets told they need another operation for another £10,000?

I'm sorry, but that's simply not true either.

That's what they are there for, and thankfully they will not judge.

as a rule the private health care would have to perform remedial care and operation for free assuming you can prove they made errors .

I have idea what you are on about. If you need care any NHS hospital will deliver it.
