"BRANDED 12:45 Tue Jan 16 Welsh mate of mine who I met in Den Haag was advised exactly the same, so, much to the annoyance of his wife, he settled on 3 pints of lager every night, citing ""Doctor's orders"" whenever she raised the subject. I suspect that the drinking prescription was for just long enough to flush the stones out, but, how long is a piece of string? He was still ""On medication"" when I left in 2003, 6 years after the initial diagnosis/prescription."

I had a kidney stone in 2996 and went to hospital. The junior doc recommended I drank beer. I followed his advice precisely and never had another one. Cheers NHS.

"No Debs, if they find it benign they are in no rush to tell you, you'll find out your results when the MRI team cc you into your GPs email. If they DO find something horrid it'll be a week and a half tops. Goodnight and good luck sweetheart."

I see Nurse Pickle has been at the medicinal brandy again. Poor Randle McMurphy probably saw Nurse Ratcheds everywhere as well.

Best wishes Debs. Hope all goes as well it can and you feel better soon. Sometimes just getting an answer is a really good thing. Have got the age where this is becoming a more regular thing and not knowing is really stressful.

Best of luck Debs and hope you get sorted asap.... old Man Sold0 had a triple bypass + piggy valve replacement today... looks like all went to plan (currently in intensive care)... regarding the NHS cardiac plan and care it's been top notch for the old man... regarding his shitty eyes not so much... ended up spending a few grand 4 months or so ago (private) getting both eyes cataracts sorted as he would have still been waiting... the daft thing was the doc' that WOULD have been doing the op' on the NHS actually done it private... ching ching.

If you’re desperate you can get an MRI done privately for about £150. Get the results in a day or two from memory.

"Darlo Debs 1:06 Mon Jan 8 Actually it wasn't 40 new hospitals as only 4 or 5 were what most sensible people would regard as a new hospital. Refurbishment of an A&E department doesn't count and, anyway, the entire project is now on the NAO red list."

"""Tax take is an all.time high then what us being done with it?"" In 2022/23, the government spent nearly £1.2 trillion. https://ifs.org.uk/taxlab/taxlab-key-questions/what-does-government-spend-money Health, takes 19.3%, state pensions 12% and social security 10.2%. Health spending is near it's highest ever level as a proportion of GDP (dropped slightly from its 2021/22 peak). Hope you get the MRI scan soon. I had one late November. Came through in under 6 weeks, was done on a Sunday (NHS)."
