CG1 Blue Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 1 hour ago, The Fugitive said: 100% correct on UK NHS. When my Mum was dying of cancer I had to call a 'GoToDoc' (out of hours mobile GP). He told me; 'Don't put your Mum in ..... hospital. They killed my grandmother'. Unfortunately, I had no choice. I saw nurses doing things then hearing them being told; 'Try reading the patient's notes'. The standard answer was; 'I've only just arrived upon this ward, haven't got time'. Exactly that, and arrogant consultants making poor / ego driven decisions. I lost my brother plus a close friend's daughter through their negligence. One being an ongoing legal case. Interesting to hear a GP actually said that to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also explained what had happened to my Mum (Ovarian Cancer) could have been avoided. She had a hysterectomy back in 1972. At that time it was normal to leave one ovary in-situ. The result according to this GP; 'They've killed thousands of women'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly know from riding 1000cc in the uk you don't get on 2 wheels without full kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Partial hysterectomy or total hysterectomy. A partial hysterectomy removes your uterus, and a total hysterectomy removes your uterus and your cervix. Both procedures leave your ovaries intact, so you can still develop ovarian cancer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the lack of protective clothing amongst foreigners on m/Cs is definitely a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
