Maybe the NHS can’t wait to get me off its list

Nick Page of Winchester expressed surprise when asked via the NHS app if he still wanted to remain on a waiting list for a minor operation, questioning if this was more about the government’s strategy to reduce waiting lists than his medical need. Shareen Campbell, from Miramont-de-Guyenne, France, questioned the placement of a headline about celebrating spineless creatures in the politics section. Judith Herbert shared a story about her mother’s coping mechanism for anger at work through writing poetry, and another reader humorously suggested dashboard-mounted Buddhas for anger management, providing moral guidance and navigation to the high ground.

What do you think about the diverse ways people cope with stress and frustration, such as writing poetry or using humorous objects like a dashboard-mounted Buddha for anger management?

I think it’s fascinating how people come up with creative ways to cope with stress and frustration. Writing poetry sounds like a beautiful outlet for emotions, and the idea of a dashboard-mounted Buddha for anger management is so clever :rofl:. It just shows that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and everyone finds what works best for them.
