1. There’s even an article by Garrett Stell in The Herald’s “Stars, Stripes and Saltires” series today about what life is like for Americans living in Scotland.

   Mr Stell and his wife seem to have great experiences with NHS Scotland every time and yet, as The Herald’s Education Correspondent, Mr Stell feels he has to top and tail his comments by suggesting the NHS is a “mess” and citing “maternity services” even when “the interpersonal experiences” of he and his wife with two births contrast so much with what he suggests is “the big picture”.

   1. Am I reading that correctly? There are Americans complaining about and demonising our Scotish NHS? Heard it all now if so.

      1. If you don’t have access to The Herald, most of the article praises NHS Scotland, compared with the US insurance-funded private system, but because this American is also on The Herald payroll it seems he has to “top and tail” his article by hinting at major problems, big picture problems in our NHS.

         Yet he and his wife have nothing but good things to say based on their own personal experiences.

         It’s as if his bosses (the editors) told
         him to tone down his praise by adding opening and closing remarks.

         The Herald seems to think its own anecdotal evidence, its earlier “Exposé” of problems in NHS Scotland, was “rigorously investigated and represented the truths faced by hundreds of families across the country, if not more”.

         It’s a sad reflection on journalistic standards of integrity?
