[lechatnoir]

Dr Jeroen Swart was interviewed on the Cycling Podcast about his role at UAE amongst other things.

 

A good listen for anyone interested. He's a very knowledgable and humble man.

[The free radical]

Thanks for sharing, I will have a listen.

the previous weeks episode had an indepth interview with Cav

he has lost none of his self confidence, ability to swear or penchant for blaming others for his shortcomings. The fact that it was over cheesecake was not missed.

Had to laugh at the cheesecake insinuations. Tubby Cav'! Not sure about 'penchant for blaming others' though. He has been effected by the EB virus for 2 years and misdiagnosed / cleared by doctors. Not exactly something you can put on his shoulders there. His crashes last year were a joke and the TDF tussle with Sagan will be debated for ever depending on what side of the fence you sit on. 

 

I'm glad he's back and I hope he has success this year. He's a class rider, multiple discipline world champ', has deep respect for the sport and the races he rides. I hope people go back and listen to the one from the tour when he finish the mountain stage alone when every other sprinter pretty much pulled the plug and jumped in the broom wagon, the Rod Ellingworth one as well gives some great insight of a racer who doesn't fit the numbers but is one of the best of all time.

Misdiagnosis in the UK health system is not uncommon. If you not on a private medical health insurance plan forget it. Yes their NHS is better than our gov provided health care but not by much

Certain parts are average and not what they were after successive governments have tried to dismantle it and under fund it in a time of exploding population. The under pinning of the NHS still means that you get good healthcare for free and you don't end up with US or even SA private medical system where it's business, business and sometimes you have to think 'am I that ill as funds are a bit low and a trip to the docs is going to stretch the budget and if I have to get muti or a specialist then I can't afford it' even when on medical aid. Even 15 years ago you had to wait 4hr+ for a non life threatening ER visit in the UK. To be honest I'll always say a national health system is a treasure and something that should be protected, invested in and not destroyed. It looked after me when I was growing up, it helped people I know with serious diseases who could never afford private medial aid let alone specialist rates, it's changed my mothers life when they brought online biological treatments for her arthritis the would cost around R40K a month here and and meant she could travel to see her grandkids and pick them up. When my father was dying of cancer the treatment, the care and service he received from the NHS was outstanding and truely humbling. I've had physio, surgery, doctors vists, ER visits, taken kids, taken parents, had family members receive counceling, addiction treatment and so much more all without a worry. It's very easy to knock something like that but the amount of people they see and the work they do still makes more than a pretty decent, 360, end to end service for a nation of 66 million. Pretty sure over there I'm not going to be asked for my credit card as I'm wheeled out of X-ray, half sedated, broken collarbone, in a gown (with no pockets) and told (pretty snotly) I can't get the X-rays or the 15% discount if I don't pay before being wheeled back to ER as happened here at Constantiaberg on Discovery. 

 

With the UK at 18 in the WHO ranking of healthcare systems and SA at 175 I'd say they are a fair bit above the local SA gov systems and a fair bit above all bar 17 other nations.

Ja the NHS with all of its flaws is one of the towering achievements of the UK postwar. To dismantle it is a travesty.

[stringbean]

Don’t worry

You’ll have your own NHI soon.

many thanks for explaining the nhs and its values.i am a employee of the nhs and work in the front line acute care.Every system has its flaws and its issues to resolve and for service is under pressure from all aspects of the population and their health needs.The NHS is a great service and you dont need private heathcare in the UK.It also provides better outcomes than the private sector.Its a system that works.

Even as a tourist in the UK, and if you needed care,emergency care it would be provided.No cards,no questions.

Its a great service

100% agree, however I think it is criminal how the service is crumbling through poor leadership, over focus on management and admin and not enough support for primary Carers. Unfortunately these factors are being used against the NHS by pro privatisation, anti NHS politicians and newspapers to create a bigger story than there actually is.

 

Both of my children were born in NHS hospitals, one in England, which was a horrific experience, and one in Northern Ireland, which was as good as any private hospital that I have interacted with in SA. My son was very ill when he was young and the care that he received on the NHS was far superior to the care that he received when we returned to SA.

 

Having said that, the system is struggling and I see so often members of my team utilising our company private medical insurance for treatment, as the NHS has unacceptable delays. One small example is that my daughter needs her tonsils out. We were told that it would take three years to get it done on the NHS. Our private medical allows us to have it done immediately.
