Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The long & damaging shadow of the Tory engineered crisis in health care has many dimensions..... here, a lack of physiotherapists is having (potentially) life-long effects on young people whose rehabilitation from injuries is delayed.

In general the crisis in health care is no longer news, but its depth & scope still can be shocking.... repairing this damage will take years & will ask a lot of people's (political) patience.

@ChrisMayLA6 This is the trap I'm stuck in. I think I could have been back at work with better treatment. Instead I'm forced into (very) early retirement on health grounds, living off of disability benefits.
