Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital day

I had to go to the John Radcliffe Hospital with my husband for an emergency visit. He was afraid his sight was deteriorating. He is already registered severely blind as an indirect result of a disease called pseudoxanthinelasticum  or PXE for short.
We are lucky and privileged to have such a great hospital to go to but unfortunately the wait to see the specialists can be lengthy.   I always take my sketch book and draw people waiting. Luckily he got the all clear this time but it is a great worry. The stress must be considerably worse in a country which does not have a care system like ours. I do wish the government would value it as much as the public do and stop trying -I think- to Americanise it.
