What fucking price is a woman's life in Ireland?

I just read the last few posts from Avoiding Life, which I only discovered via Suzy's response to an earlier cartoon. What kind of a machismo-fuelled fuckwit of a bureaucracy are we dealing with here? This woman has been waiting since October 24 for an appointment in Mullingar. Her breast is bleeding. As of December 01 she still has not been contacted. Women all over the country are experiencing the same thing. What's the fucking holdup?

This is fucked. I'm ignorant: is there a comparable waiting list for prostate and testicular related illnesses? Or are we so culturally misogynistic that our health service structurally tolerates women dying from treatable illnesses while some fucking brick wall of a minister tries to transform a health service that won't even communicate with her?

Hey HSE is it because she's a woman?
