NHS Doctors blaimed as hospital death rate soars!
 

I was shocked to read this:

Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Bungling doctors blamed as hospital death rates soar

It seems Doctors/GP's are untouchable and can get away with murder - well almost!

I recently had tests and was caused a lot of pain by one Doctor at the hospital. When I asked my GP for a 2nd opinion at another hospital the Doctor gave me a very simple test relatively painless that answered my question and gave me a diagnosis. But the previous Doctor didn't do this test - I wonder why?

It's a well known fact that doctors bury their mistakes.:eek::D:D

Re: NHS Doctors blaimed as hospital death rate soars!
 

It is assumed because they spent 8 years studying that they know what's best for a patient - they don't. Most GP's are a bit ecentric in some way or another.

I had one GP tell me that Co-codamol should not be taken with a condition I have. Then another GP, a locum - contradicted that GP and issued me with Co-codamol on a prescription and when I told him what she had said, he shrugged it off. Another drug I was prescribed by the other GP - the locum told me that was bad for the heart! So 2 contradictions by 2 GP's in the same practice.

Another GP at the same place when I asked about a condition I was told to look on the Internet! When research was done recently that concluded that looking on the Internet for self-diagnosis is a dangerous. On another occasion he refused to examine my throat and said "come back in 6 weeks if you are still in pain!"

We have a generation of doctors who were attracted to the profession by high salaries.
I have a nephew who is an anaesthatist who said he chose that speciality because 'I prefer my patients to be unconcious'.;)

I don't use the NHS except to get chiropody.
I consider that my health is safer that way.
There are 'alternative' health ways to a cure.
Most pharma drugs just mask symptoms but don't cure.

Thanks Margaret I'll stop all mine right away, the funeral will probably be a week next Friday, I like roses, hope you can make it:D

Re: NHS Doctors blamed as hospital death rate soars!
 

I never suggested that you (or anyone else) try it:eek:
....30years ago maybe, but now too late to switch methods

It is a difficult decision to make to take the responsibilty for your own health.
When i did, it was because the NHS didn't help me - I had no alternative.

As I've said before never seen any organic remedies which can quell an acute asthma attack, one of these can kill within minutes:(

I am reading this book at the moment.
Amazon.co.uk:

There are some youtube videos made by the author (a former asthmatic Ventolyn user).
It is easing my breathing problems, might help yours
