If people vote me in and accept my taxing and regulatory system I think everyone except the ruling class would be satisfied. I would have everybody pay 5% of taxes for the poor, and another 20% everybody would allocate to category they see fit. If one wants to pay more for health and less for military he should have the optioin to do so. If one wants to go all private and pay no taxes for health, he should, again, be able to make that gamble. Then people could choose to use health and other services based on how they see themselves fit. My taxing system would be more nuanced but this would be the general gist - put your money where you want to and deal with the consequences (responsibility).

but how do you know what you need? does your doctor just tell you what you need/

if my symptoms had been microbial in origin just getting an inhaler wouldn't have helped.... and i had a temperature so they did suspect covid and did a blood culture to see if there was anything bacterial up.... can you just buy a pathology lab and do your own chest x-rays?

i think there's a middle ground- i should have just been able to buy an inhaler and if that didn't work then get it investigated. overall think if i had the option to bypass doctors i'd probably avoid getting things checked and self diagnose all the time and inevitably at some point get it badly wrong. i guess that's on me not the system ha.

It's unusual for me to see a doctor unless I need a sick note or am convinced I have some nasty illness, which is not often at all

So I just buy whatever I feel I need for any ailment that pops up

Usually it's anti histamines, antibiotics of various types, nasal sprays etc as I don't use benzo's or any SSRI's as a matter of rule since a year and half back

Every six months a parasite dose, or if I injure myself physically I will get pain meds or anti inflammatory agents

Also, most cunts here in a white coat calling themselves doctors have no qualifications, knowledge or even basic training, so self care is the way

The only time it sort of backfired was maybe six years back and I was sick for two weeks, losing weight, no strength and I was convinced I had Dengue fever, so I was in bed with painkillers, hash oil and weed for over two weeks before I made myself drive 300km to see a reputable doc - turned out I had a bout of Malaria that took three days of presenting to the clinic when the fever and tremors were up before a formal diagnosis, lost 20kg and my kidney's hurt for 6 months afterward


But in your case; there's no valid reason that you shouldn't have been able to visit a pharmacy and grab an inhaler and some blister packs of certizine as a seasonal hayfever victim - think of all the man hours spent triaging and assessing you unnecessarily over the past 48 hours

fair play. gotta be a bit scary knowing there's a chance you won't get real help when you need it. when i was in egypt during the military coup someone i did a tour with had needed help from the police and got nowhere cos no public servants were working. was glad to get out of there.

Bonjour CFC,

Ca va?

Nice to see you postio!

I was given a GCSE in French with a C grade pass and the above is the extent of the language I have retained.

It was pointless as I never needed to use it - spanish or something like that would have been more useful and covers a lot of the Americas as well as being able to tell that fucking lechy prick that one often runs into if in Spain or, less often, the Balearics and Barcelona who makes under the breath about your girlfriend / insert person of subjective relatability in terms of intimate importance if you find yourself on a free package holiday on the costa del - wherever (England, as the news currently demonstrates, has more twats than Spain or most other European countries so please do think that this behaviour is typical, just predictable from time to time as are many fracas of various intensity.

Anyway. Laters!

Salut!

I was fairly competent at French but I also only got a C lol. It tends to come back when I travel but mostly just stuff like asking for une tranche de gâteau ;)
