It is interesting, the USA has a far more advanced health care system than here in the UK, open to new ideas and treatments that are not approved over here. It’s no secret that the Americans have higher demands and greater expectations than us Brits. Maybe it’s a cultural thing? I think that they expect … Continued
I really don’t like the Daily Mail, I think it’s one of Rupert Murdoch’s poisonous vessels for spreading his propaganda to middle class England. As with most newspapers these days, being objective and just doesn’t always sell, so they lean towards whatever agenda they have or whatever story will spark the most attention and make … Continued
