I sat up, I was not on call, I looked at my phone. Two missed calls and a text from NHS-NoReply
I dialed the given number and punched in the code, rubbing my eyes.
"What is it?"
"Major incident, fire in West London apparently." I replied. Heading out of bed to the shower as my wife headed to the kitchen, turning on the TV on the way.
The tepid water woke me up, it was a hot, humid night.
"How bad is it?" I shouted.

You're sitting at the nurses' station on the ward, trying to finish the admission documentation and prescriptions of your last patient.
Suddenly, a shiver runs down your spine as you hear someone shout:
"Can I have some help in here please?"
You drop your pen and stand up, commotion in one of the bays, a senior nurse runs out, "Get the cart and put the call out!"
You pick up the phone, dialling 2222.

Ok, I'm not a health expert, or a politician, just a low level, acute care grunt who look after sick people and the elderly.
But here's my idea of why the #NHScrisis is happening, and how to (maybe) solve it.
The government and Hunt are quite right, spending on health is at record levels. Even accounting for inflation, growing needs etc, why are things this bad? With record trolley waits, ambulance queues, mental health crisis, surely something must be wrong?

As a British Citizen born in Hong Kong, with family in China, I find the whole branding remainers who are "talking down #Brexit" as "traitors" and "saboteurs" disturbing and odd. Especially coming from those who insist this is to defend democracy.
In China, the cultural revolution occurred between 1966-1976. Starting out as a campaign to restore the Communist Revolution to greatness, and to purge the country of "traitors" and "counter-revolutionaries"
