It would be interesting to know how many people in Scotland and the UK are currently suffering from underlying health conditions. I think that the figure would be frightening despite all the money being spent trying to encourage people to have a healthy lifestyle.
This week I have noticed that there is a lot more traffic on the roads than during the first two weeks of the lockdown. It looks like the novelty of staying at home or walking everywhere has worn off.
This country has a horrific addiction to alcohol and I like a wee drink myself ,see loads of young people still smoking, obesity related health issues must be off the scale ,I lead a pretty active lifestyle go out running most days eat healthy without living like a Buddhist monk.
After the first week of lockdown I said to myself there will be 2 types of people come out of this...peeps doing triathlons or folks getting winched out the house by the fire service ....
When moved to live on Islay in 2005 I asked my GP if the blood donor
vehicle came to the island as I had previously donated blood at the blood donation unit in Ninewells Hospital.
My GP informed my that there were not enough healthy people living on Islay to justify bringing over the Blood Donor Van.
I knew that there was a big drink problem on Islay but I was shocked when my GP told me that you would be surprised how many people living on Islay suffered from high blood pressure which of course is a silent killer.
There is definitely a stigma attached to drinking in Scotland,30 years ago I would always take a drink even if I probably didn’t really want one ,now it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest to knock it back drink driving laws have made it easier to say no.
I was through at a concert in Glasgow in January and the pubs were choking with punters with people queuing mid afternoon, off licenses on almost every street.
Minimum pricing in place now but it’s part of our culture for generations, cost has never been a barrier to addicts...
