My dad has been waiting for care at home since he left the hospital months ago, and he's now become so ill that he's had to go back in again which is not what he wanted, and this wasn't a part of his treatment plan. The GP said he'd get care at home.
It's a long story, and there's plenty more to this, but today my mom was called into the hospital and was told there's only a 50/50 chance he's going to make it out. His feet have gone purple through a lack of oxygen, and his heart is severely limited and has many problems. He is near the end and I'm just broken. It's too much to digest and I feel odd/guilty just writing this post.
He's paid taxes his entire life and is still paying tax on his private pension to this day. He also took a retirement job in his 70s at a racecourse because he loves horse racing, and they taxed him on that as well. The government has failed him as I'm sure his tax money has helped numerous people, and in return, he has been neglected/left to rot because there's not enough staff within the NHS to care for everyone. The NHS is on its knees and is no longer fit for purpose.
