This LBC caller with an incurable cancer in three organs who is having chemotherapy says he supports nurses 'in everything they're doing'. DavidLammy
This caller says he supports the nurses' industrial action despite the "terminal" nature of his condition.
"I support them 100 per cent because this government has basically eroded the NHS over the last 13 years and, in my opinion, trying to do a sort of backdoor privatisation by stealth", he said. "I count my blessings - in terms of my general health I'm way better than many of the people I see", Mike said. He commented on the heart-breaking sight of "young ladies who've lost their hair and their skin pallor is just, they look like they're 70 years old and they're really really struggling".
He said he has been surprised by the "emotional investment that they pout into every single patient" and that "they deserve whatever we could possibly give them".
