(((GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE! HOW WONDERFUL GOYIM!)))
A government-funded study has found that 71 per cent of baby deaths or neonatal brain injuries could have been avoided if the National Health Service (NHS) had given better care.
The ‘Every Baby Counts’ project, by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), looked at 1,123 babies who were stillborn, died within a week of birth, or were born brain-damaged in 2016 in a report published Tuesday.
Of those 1,123, 124 (11 per cent) were stillborn, 145 newborns died within the first week of birth, and 854 suffered brain damage, often due to deprivation of oxygen during labour.
In 45 per cent of cases, midwives and obstetricians were found to have failed to follow best practice or guidelines, including lack of training or not responding to warning signs sufficiently. Each case had an average of seven failings where actions were inadequate or went wrong.
The report also blamed overwhelmed maternity units and staff shortages.
Co-investigator of Every Baby Counts and vice-president of the RCOG told The Guardian that “Sadly, this latest report from Each Baby Counts shows that different care might have made a difference to the outcome for almost three-quarters of affected babies.”
One woman whose baby son Harry suffered brain damage was told that it was “just one of those things” and she and her husband had to push for an investigation, which found fault with the NHS hospital.
Last year, a study by the National Childbirth Trust and the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI) found that half of all pregnant women experienced a “red flag” event during labour. Women also complained they were treated like “cattle” in maternity wards by callous staff and felt they were on a “conveyor belt” during labour, being seen by several different midwives during the birthing process.
A study published in June found that the NHS has a higher-than-average rate of newborn infant mortality compared to other Western nations, while the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health predicted last month that infant deaths could more than double in England and Wales by 2030.
Welcome to socialised medicine, people of the world! Isn't it wonderful? But hey, it's """free""" (if you don't count the extra taxes you pay to fund it!)
Gabriel Moore
Even if it were "free" (which it isn't because people pay it via taxes), I still wouldn't want this kind of SHIT 'care.'
Alexander Garcia
Working as intended.
Caleb Lee
I bet it actually is. Commie bureaucrats really do hate us. The ONE thing George W. Bush (as much as a retarded dipshit he was) actually said that was correct was "they hate us for our freedoms" when he referred to terrorists. Take a step back and you realize our government funded and armed those terrorists! So yah, they do HATE US because we once enjoyed freedom.
Adrian Wilson
This is what happens when you hire mudshits forcibly.
Colton Wood
And how many of the staff are tanned brits?
Aaron Rogers
It’s the pursuit of the almighty dollar. These aren’t hospitals, they’re baby mill corporations run by gangsters.
Luke Moore
You Brits are so picky. With free* healthcare, you shouldn't be complaining at all!
Eli Foster
where are the medicine student or hospital worker anons boasting "I work 16 hours a day faggot" now?
Carter Parker
Free as in you pay a 10% increase of taxes for those "free" shitty govt-run services.
Joshua Jones
Because ordinary employee in private businesses gives a shit?.
Charles Scott
You would pay 200% more (and rising) for those services if they werent run at cost, but for profit.
Alexander Garcia
The state fucks up everything, how unexpected.
Brayden Flores
Fuck the nhs my brother almost died everytime he'd try to sleep he'd jolt awake and start screaming we told staff and we basically got "fuck off we're the professionals"
Eli Harris
Stay clear of these institutions. I'll only go to a hospital if I break a bone, otherwise I don't go near them, I avoid them like the plague.
Blake Gray
perhaps start by employing English people as doctors and nurses. ban all negros, pakis, muslims, jews, faggots and other mentally ill freaks from hospitals completely. voila, 90% of problems solved also, remove all non English blooded from the country entirely, meaning all the disgusting birth defects from paki inbreds simply won't happen, not to mention the hospitals then being nearly empty. outrage over, hospitals fixed, 7 out of 10 baby deaths prevented. you're welcome. then again, they don't actually want to fix it, or anything else, and just want people to be outraged for a bit to release some emotions while accomplishing nothing, that way the frustrations won't build up, and there will never be a day of the rope
Evan Young
Ever looked into your niggerised health system? It is an absolute freak horror show. Clueless as always.
Carson Morris
The frustrations DO build up and more and more people just stop trusting the system. Wait a decade or two later, all falls apart in contempt and utter distrust. They want it that way? Fine by me.
Jayden Flores
They all suck. And whenever the government gets involved, it tends to get even worse.
Parker Richardson
But I thought government did everything better!??! Bernie told me so!
Benjamin King
This. If fags bothered to look at what was done to the NHS they would know it has been sabotaged to fail.
Levi Clark
The government is only good at one thing, law enforcement. Why? Because they know how to be assholes to people. So you want them focusing on public ENEMIES, and NOT the public itself. Dig?
Michael Nguyen
They're fucking it up deliberately so they have an excuse to sell it to the corporate vultures, who will be ten times worse.
Gabriel Russell
Our healthcare system always had a few problems but overall it wasn't horrible as most systems were. That is until 'Obamacare' (ACA) got shoved down our throats and that is when our healthcare system got worse and worse. It was from that point I decided "screw this whole system in its entirety I will have nothing to do with it."
Ryder Wilson
PS: right now I have no doctor, but you know what? Ironically its going OK, I just have to make sure I take as best care of my health as I can. Vitamins, supplements, drink clean distilled water, avoid toxic vaccines, avoid junk/fast foods, avoid soda and other really sugary products, I use a loud speaker on my phone to talk (to avoid radiating my brain), eat organic non-GMO as much as I can, try my best to stay fit (do a little bit of excising every morning early and at night before I sleep), pretty much try to keep healthy. IF I ever use the system it will be because I break a bone and need some kind of cast, or if I ever get a deep wound cut and need sutures badly enough.
Cooper Parker
obviously NHS needs to be defunded more to prove a point because defunding last time isn't giving better care for some reason
Gavin Cox

Jonathan Moore
Look at the Mayo clinic which is a great example of privatized health care. People travel from countries with socialized medicine to get treatment at the Mayo clinic.
They can even look at the how horrible the socialized VA treats it's patients.
Have you ever been to a doctor? Last time I went I had to spend 4 hours on the phone to figure out how much my care would cost and even then it was an "estimate". Not one person in the entire doctor's office could tell me how much it would cost. Turns out a blood test would cost $1k. A fucking blood test. They just figured I would never check until I recieved the bill.
The discourse in this thread is a joke. A study of health services was done showing that British healthcare sucks at stopping preventable complications. Okay. The logical conclusion is that it could be better, not that some other system which was never analyzed by the study must be better. England still has a higher life expectancy than the US. Maybe that's because they are a country of landwhales, but that is atleast evidence that their system might be better. Pro Tip: there is actually quite a bit of evidence that the British system works better for the average Briton than the American system does for the average American, but both systems are shit. If you want good healthcare go to france. The French might be insufferable assholes, but they have good healthcare
Thomas Lewis
communism is the very definition of failure.
Kevin Reed
Like with all socialized systems in the West, white men pay for all of it.
Thomas Nelson
Welcome to the NHS. Incompetence is the norm. Look into the case of Sue Verhoeven. This poor lady had an infected cyst on her back for 70 days and in the end had to crowd fund treatment in the USA. From the first "doctor" who tried to drain it without lancing. To the next doctor who incompletely drained it through a tiny incision. To the nurse who forced wicking into the infected site, without anaesthesia, despite the patient howling and crying in pain. Incompetence reigns in every state-sponsored, diversity-hiring organization. youtube.com/watch?v=X_e34dVuuyg hooktube.com/watch?v=AN6SFdNbAC0 hooktube.com/watch?v=wnTY31-9izc
Jace Green
yes much better to pay for it with debt and bankruptcy that the state must shoulder making it more expensive than some tax some lolbertarian cried about
Jose Murphy
oh shit you found 3 cases. better throw out socialized medicine and switch to american style healthcare that deals with 17K malpractice lawsuits a year
Caleb Walker
They are three incompetent treatments of ONE CASE. In fact there are more, EVERY "professional" who treated this woman's injury is incompetent and is shown as such in the videos on her channel. But if you want to believe that she just had some kind of lottery-level odds of bad luck, running into "the few bad eggs" all by herself, then go ahead. The truth however, is that the NHS fosters incompetence. This situation would NEVER occur in the USA because those "professionals" would have been weeded out via litigation LONG ago. In the UK there is NO COME BACK against any but the most egregious incompetence, and even that tends to be covered up by a culture of mutual support and silence (similar to the police code of silence.) The NHS is a fucking shambles, do you even live in the UK?
Nathan Lee
Those law suits are what cuts the dead wood out of the health system and keeps IT healthy. YES, Britain needs MANY, MANY MORE LAW SUITS with THE DOCTORS AND NURSES being held personally liable (through their own insurance), NOT the taxpayer. Taxpayer-funded systems attract those who can't make it in the private sector, look at any local council.
