UK Patient Waits 15 Hours for Kidney Stone Meds, Begs AI to Take Over the NHS
theEvilUkaUka · reddit · 2026-10-14
A Reddit user in the UK's NHS posted a desperate rant: after 15+ hours in A&E with kidney stones and no sleep for a day, they waited 5 hours in a chair just to get a prescription for a small stone. They argued AI could massively help triage and prescriptions, "but it won't be allowed because AI is evil." The post captures both the dire state of UK public healthcare and the gap between public hopes for AI-driven healthcare and regulatory resistance.
