"Blood on the walls", eh?; ISTR that was rebuffed by the medics in question.
You can assume what you wish on my opinion, it doesn't stop it being "fake news", though.
As it happens, my views on the NHS are (at least at the highest level) broadly similar to those on the EU.
They're both far from perfect, but I'd rather be with them than without them.
Close experience of either will emphasise those things that work well, and those that don't (and there will be a plethora of either of these in most organisations, never mind those of such a scale).
Whatever the shortcomings of the NHS, it seems to have coped pretty well with your recent urgent requirements (as, in my experience, it does in most such cases), and your post seemed rather churlish to me given what I remember of you describing your progress.
(I was interested, as one of my ex-work colleagues, who is now a walking companion, was rushed to hospital with a massive kidney infection at around the same time, and in a pretty bad state. It was touch and go whether he would lose the kidney, but he had a stricture diagnosed, and it was subsequently fixed by removing part of the ureter and rejoining. 6-months on he is having his first post-op holiday in Scotland, and back cycling. Whilst he can certainly point out a few issues in his 6-months experience of the NHS, his overall view is somewhat more upbeat than your apparent stance).
