> The waitlist for chronic pain surgeries are 3-4 years long

The NHS has _many_ problems, don't get me wrong. But 3-4 years for "chronic pain surgery" isnt one of them. There are huge wait times, but 3-4 years is not representative. (Hip replacement times are ~4 months, much higher than it used to be)

Would I fly out to turkey to get a knee done? fuck no, half the problem is physio. Can you fly out and do it? you sure can.

This kind of doomerism is going to lead to farage getting his way and replacing universal healthcare for shitty half arsed insurance.
