There have been no health service strikes by doctors, junior doctors, GPs, consultants, nurses, midwives, ambulance paramedics or radiologists in Scotland.
Almost all have taken action in England and some in Wales.
Only the radioactive GMB has managed to trick its porter and cleaner members to take action.
Millions of appointments and procedures have been cancelled with the inevitable loss of uncounted lives.
Through a willingness to keep talking and the adoption of respect for professionals, SNP health secretaries, backed up by the SNP Government, have saved hundreds of thousands of appointments and procedures. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives, have been saved.
None of the above has ever got the media recognition they deserved, quite the reverse, and in recent weeks, a million ill-informed Scots voted for a party that has run the worst NHS in the UK, in Wales, and against their own interests.
Last week, in the Telegraph:
GPs threaten to see fewer patients in pay row protest. Doctors’ vote on ‘collective action’ puts pressure on Labour to concede more over new contract
and only 31 paragraphs down:
Mr Streeting has said any award would constitute a “journey not an event”, with think tanks pointing to the 12.4 per cent deals struck in Scotland and Wales as a way forward.
There are clear media effects. We just saw one on 4th July, now Scottish Dependence Day.
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Now , if Damn Jackie Bailout was Labour Health Secretary in a Labour-run Holyrood Government , she would be showered with accolades for her sterling support of the Scottish NHS .
Ironically , as a major critic of the SNP Scottish Government , she is showered with accolades for undermining the Scottish NHS . Funny old world , innit ?

In very, very difficult circumstances, the SNP are doing a great job. The SNP Gov trying to protect, SNHS, Education and welfare from the ravages of a Westminster Gov. The incomprehensible poor, bad decision of a corrupt Westminster Gov.
A corrupt Westminster Gov having the power to decide how 40% of Scottish revenues are spent. No taxation without representation. No democracy without a free and fair press. Leveson recommendations not implemented by a corrupt Westminster Gov.
Labour Party supports child poverty. The worse start in life for children. Labour lying, hypocrites think they can get away with it. Usual spin. They cannot.
SNHS funded £13Billion+ saving lives every day. Providing wonderful care. The population can attest to that. They are the patients.

The Brit state aided by their pals in the unions, will stoop as low as they can to oust the SNP at Holyrood, it’s quite simple really even if it means lives are put at risk in hospitals etc. The people of Scotland are collateral, the EngGBUKBritish ‘government’ are not going to allow Scotland escape their clutches, not now, when they need Scotland more than ever because of England’s Brexit and their wars etc. Scary.

While I approvingly agree with almost every comment here, I’m increasingly hopeful that the Mainstream Media service is bound to be superior to what we’ve had to endure beforehand… I’m absolutely confident that it will!
