The NHS will not be pleased. Mr. Bevan must be spinning in his grave.

My youngest sister has compressed vertebrae which causes her pain. I told her things like this can be fixed nowadays.
She has taken prescription pain pills, acupuncture and used a chiropractor.

BTW the democrat party would have killed the baby. Young or old they want you dead so they can spend the money on their pet projects.
