    Best place to live with MD ?

    Hi Everyone,

    I was just wondering if anyone in the UK is actually satisfied with the service provision in their areas? As far as I’m concerned the service provision in my area is just about non-existent, lots of talk and zero action and I’d go anywhere to get a better quality of life…….

    Everywhere is pretty much the same. Sometimes it can depend on how well you can get to a major city hospital, for me that is next to impossible.

    As time goes on, what was an easy hospital to get to suddenly is not.

    Difficult to compare the different services but it is so much better than a
    few years ago.

    I’m an hour away from Wessex Neurological centre in Southampton. they are lovely. the Dr I see is a super brain. but no answers, and the genetic tests are too expensive to keep running one every time he gets a hunch. so I guess it’s the same everywhere. so much isn’t known about md. I know for sure that I’m grateful to be mid south Coast because at least when I go to Newcastle to see the team there I can fly (near lots of airports and far enough from Newcastle to justify it) and won’t have to drive or do the train. probably blooming cheaper to fly anyway!
