You know how the saying is "act in haste, repent at leisure". Well, my resignation letter is written and I've set myself a deadline to hand it in of either Wednesday morning if I don't stop being angry or tomorrow if I'm pushed to make a decision.  Alternatively, I may go get myself signed off as I'm so burned out I'm getting severely dysfunctional.  I'll see what I'm like in the morning.

I've no idea how people put up with this for decades with any shred of ethical rigour left.  I'm fed up of the funny looks when I query the ethicality of a decision or comments about "that's not how things work" when I push to understand the "why" of a dubious decision.

It has taken the NHS to break in me what couldn't be done with two war zones, a tour of NI, damaging my body so far in the army that I'm officially disabled with a war pension, almost two decades of multinational work stress, seven years of my wife being severely ill with five separate incidents where I had the "chat" with the consultant about her future.  None of that broke me, the NHS has.

Edit: After the cathartic nature of typing that, my phone is set for 7:55 when I'll call the GP surgery for an appointment. 

I like this forum just for a place I can come and let rip while working things through.

So, thanks for reading and sorry for the self indulgent rant. 

Take some time off.  Then make the decision.  Ultimately you have to look after yourself and the wife.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

This is going to be a bit of a political rant with a bit of swearing, so heads up. Why do we keep giving racists things, or let them take away things from us? If I wear red laces in my boots, I h

The therapeutic value of this forum has been excellent. 

Given my experiences recently within the nhs, I can fully understand your emotions. I'm very close to saying fk it myself..... my wife threw the towel in last year

Thanks all.  It's the push to continually lower my ethical boundaries that's really getting to me plus being expected to take collective responsibility for ethically bankrupt decisions.  I think I just need a decent break to put it all in context before I commit to a decision.

##### cutting paving stones with a stihl saw at 11am when you've told the b'stard you're on nights and trying to sleep. Is this the loudest sound in the world? 

I used to work next door to a tile company, and when they had to cut a load of tiles, it was a bit hard on the ears.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

That nearly made me laugh. Only 12 hours to get through now with hardly any sleep. (Cries)

My lower back and knackers have been killing me since Tuesday night (pain relief not any use) Can I get into the docs? No chance. I'm waiting for the lines to open to try again but if not I'm gonna have to go to A&E.

There's a reason men don't get these things checked out - it's cos you can't get in the bloody place. 

Does your Dr's surgery have a Senior Practice Nurse? They can diagnose and prescribe, and also allocate 15 mins to each appointment. I don't even bother trying to get an appointment with a Dr anymore, can't get in due to the old people who book up the appointments for their weekly visit months in advance.

Just got an appointment thanks. Engaged/on hold for ages. Now to find out that its something terrible. My problem is that I'm like Kenneth Williams in Carry On as the hypochondriac doctor....'diseases of the bowels'...

Have you tried loosening the grip on your wallet? You might be straining a few muscles a bit too much.
