I am from a third world country visiting a specific and crucial public university hospital in the UK and I noticed the consultants are very slow in the clinics. The average consultant sees around 9 patients per day. In my third world healthcare things move way faster a doctor could see around 20 or 30 patients per day which wouldn't be even a hard day. It feels like doctors here wait for half an hour just for the patients to come up with questions and while this is very nice, its not reasonable when the average patient has to wait for 12 weeks to start treatment.

I remembering seeing something similar in my country in a private university hospital where the overall uptake was 10 patients per clinic and I remenber how it felt like a waste of money to have this hospital still operating. It felt like there was a money laundering scam behind or they just have this hospital to keep the university running medical degrees.

I understand quality and accuracy are very crucial but why isn't speed as important in healthcare training?

I find myself family's reaction to my suicidal attempt weird from the very first one. The first time I did it was a drug that take some time to cause multiple organ failure and my parents were like "if you truly want to die, you wouldn't have told us"

Next time I was living in a remote area alone and my mother frequently visits like most of the days and I attempted once and she was like "why while I amnhere? Couldn't you try that when I am not here"

Now that I am pretty far from my parents in another country I wonder what they would say if I actually die. I am very tired of all this.

Hello, I have been here for 3 weeks and my father keeps calling about why I never saw anything till this point. Well the truth is I dont like seeing places alone.

I just wish someone could go with me and maybe grab a coffe. Its not a date and I am not disclosing details about myself for you to pick based on your type. I just want a friend to walk with basically no matter your ethnicity, colour, size, or anything. Just be able to walk or move (i mean wheelchair users are fine too lol)
