Oof it's been a long time since I came on Spinster. I won't share too many details, but I've been looking after more than one close relative with cancer. Both currently doing OK.
There was a TiM having a boob job at the same time as women were having mastectomies for breast cancer -- fucking waste of NHS money and the nurses let him sit there with only a bit of fabric between him and vulnerable women. I didn't find out until much later.
I had been annoyed with the hospital's decision not to admit over night (hard to believe they do mastectomies as day cases nowadays, even when the patient is in her late 70s) -- they were giving her oxygen only 20 minutes before she was cleared to go home -- but I'd have also worried about her being in a ward as they obviously let men pretending to be women swan in and out willy nilly.
The hospital is in a very captured part of the UK -- the same place that a TiF (a local councillor -- Green party, of course) shouted at and tried to prevent a vigil for Afghan women, calling the women Nazis for opposing the Taliban. So much batshittery.
Anyway... hoping to catch up on knitting pics soon

It isn't 'government messaging' that makes me dread needing to make a medical appointment, it's my own, recent experiences.

Or dangerously radioactive... that'd be fine, too

FFS These judges censoring a perfectly reasonable opinion. Personally I would rather they were sent to live on a small island somewhere that there are no women or children, preferably in the path of a hurricane, where there's no shelter and no food growing. No need to land the plane - they can exit as the plane flies over. Up to the convicted rapists to provide their own parachutes.

I hope all 52 rapists never know a moment's peace until they die.

It's got to the point where police shouldn't waste their time looking for images of child sexual abuse when someone reports a paedophile to them. They'd get a better rate of perps sent to prison if they sieved through the pervert's Facebook posts for something critical of Islam.
