I worked as a senior nurse in the uk for many years. I assure you that the medical care here is FAR superior in almost every way. The only down side is the experience of outpatients visits, it is confusing beyond belief until you are used to the system. I have spent 3 days as an inpatient here and was astounded by the medical care, nursing care (and I mean old fashioned care) with highly skilled nurses, and the place is cleaner than the NHS has been for years. This is, of course only my opinion and experience but I have experienced both first hand. JJ
