  • Thanks for the bump!

  • Thanks for the bump!

  • Thanks for the bump!

  • Thanks for the bump!

  • IME, everyone, male and female, wears an unholy amount of perfume. It's so bad I have to carry migraine tablets with me everywhere I go.

  • People always want the disabled dead. Even in Utopia, Thomas More said if someone is ill/disabled with no hope of a cure, they should unalive themselves to prevent them from being a burden to others.

  • And yet if you express a desire for a$$i$t£d su!c!d£ the hypocrites always say "No, yOuR LiFE is tOO pReCIouS."

  • I got a letter from the private hospital, it seems they have accepted me for the consultation. So that's something. On the downside my GP surgery recently changed their appointment booking system to an online thing that is so difficult to use I haven't been able to use it. They never answer their phone lines, so it means if I need an appointment I have to actually go there first thing in the morning, get in the queue and hope there are some appointments left by the time I get to the front of the queue, which usually there aren't. Stupid, stupid system.

    In fact so many other people are struggling to use this online booking system that the surgery have started running classes in how to use it! Stupidest thing I've ever heard. So many people need these classes that there is a waiting list. I'm on the waiting list and god knows how long it will take. I am honestly starting to think they make it so hard to get an appointment purposely to deter people.

  • I think it would be impossible to change the way I speak anyway, since I can't even hear I'm doing it until I hear it coming from outside. But thanks, we live in such a messed up world where the help you receive depends on your class, accent, gender, etc.

  • Thanks.

    It was a shock at first but as the days go on I am getting resigned to sounding like a cockney. However I do wonder if this is part of the reason why I've struggled to be taken seriously by the medical profession so many times. All this time during the consultations I thought I was at least presenting as the same class as the doctors even if I'm actually poor but the whole time they've probably been seeing me as lower class and applying class bias, plus of course the fact that female patients don't get taken seriously anyway, all of this probably combined to me being brushed off for so long whenever I have a medical issue.

  • It is dystopian, especially the fact that the private hospital can just pick and choose whichever NHS patients they will take. But thank you, I hope it gets sorted soon too. They've made me a provisional appointment for new years eve for the consultation but the private hospital can decide against me and cancel it if they want.

  • You're beautiful by James Blunt. The most annoying song on earth.

  • Thanks, I really hope I get to go to the private hospital as well, I actually had my thyroidectomy done there (because my employer at the time had given the employees private healthcare benefits) and it was so much nicer than the NHS one. That's probably the only reason my thyroid cancer got diagnosed actually, I'd been begging the NHS for help with my symptoms for 3.5 years at that point and they just kept fobbing me off. Then my employer gave us private health insurance and I told my GP I had private health insurance now and he sent me there for some proper tests.

    I actually lived in London as a child, decades ago but moved to Devon as a schoolchild in the 90s. But that was so long ago and I don't sound cockney in my head at all, I had no idea I still sound like that. In fact it was so long ago I mostly forget I started life in London, it seems like another lifetime ago. I just sounded like such a child too, it was embarrassing.

  • James Corden, widely regarded as the most annoying person in the world.

  • I got my gynaecology referral letter today, I had to phone the number to make an appointment. There was an echo on the line, everything I said was being echoed back to me and oh my god, I can't believe how awful my voice sounds. I didn't know it was that bad. When I'm speaking I hear my voice as being quite deep and accentless, but echoed back it sounded like a high pitched child's voice with a cockney accent. I don't even live in London so why do I sound like a cockney?

    Anyway apparently NHS waiting lists are so long now that the local private hospital is taking NHS patients. However the private hospital is allowed to pick and choose which patients it will take. If I can go to the private hospital I will get seen quicker, get my own private room, better food etc. So they've put me forward for that but I will have to wait and see if the private hospital accepts me. If not I'll have to be redirected back through the NHS waiting list.

  • I think you can just buy them online too.

  • 200,000 iu. It's meant to last from anywhere from 3 months to a year depending on your level of deficiency.

  • Thanks. I think they just hope we die or kill ourselves. I don't know why they don't just legalise assisted suicide at this point.

    It's crazy that some people are so bitter that they're actually jealous of the disabled.
