The NHS disaster

Post Reply New Topic

I'll add to this thread by saying that my grandma died prematurely, due to NHS neglect.

Her treatment was withdrawn as part of the Liverpool Care Pathway (the controversial end-of-life care system, under the NHS).

She was an absolute warrior & 100% wanted to live until the maximum age possible for a human, here on Earth. Every painful breath of air she took, due to years of smoking & bronchitis - was a blessing from her perspective.

She started out on her life journey to hospital, by falling off of her bed, and was in regular health. She then ended up in hospital, where she caught an infection (hospitals are actually sometimes more harmful than helpful for patients with low immune systems) - and instead of being given antibiotics as she demanded & my family demanded, her antibiotics were withdrawn.

She had some mild cognitive decline going into the hospital, but within perhaps 10 days, we knew something was seriously wrong. Her eyes were rolling upwards, she had no clue where she was?

What had happened?

The doctors kept murmuring and pretending they didn't know what had happened. But it turns out they did know.

A French doctor said off the record to my family - that they were withdrawing her care to purposefully let her die.

She begged to be kept alive, and kept murmuring that they were killing her. My entire family watched as the NHS killed our beloved Grandma, whilst seeing/watching propaganda on television that was telling us the NHS was dandy & that things were okay.

Perhaps if you are a brainless, television watching zombie, then you might accept that as the truth.

But it is not the truth. It never was the truth.

Frankly, not repeating this story is a violation of my Grandma's existence & memory.

There is no compensation under these circumstances for families affected by these death camp circumstances. British working class folk don't have lawyers.

I don't see why the number of different drugs on the market for the same ailment should mean more expense for the health service. Even if they bought them all (and why would they want to?), they'd only need 1/30th the number of each one to treat the same number of patients. And there's an organisation called NICE that's supposed to make sure the NHS doesn't buy drugs that don't work.

It does look like they killed her. Such things happen - there was a surgeon in one of my workplaces who insisted on doing an operation that everybody else warned him not to do. He did it anyway, and sure enough the patient died. He got a severe warning, but the matter was covered up outside of the "professional" circle. It wasn't an innocent accident. I'd met the man, and he was an arrogant bastard.

In both the USA and the UK they sometimes discharge patients before it's particularly safe to do so, just so they can get the beds back for new patients. In the UK they sent a load of elderly patients known to have Covid back to the care homes they lived in, and the patients naturally passed Covid on to everybody else in the homes. A lot of them died. There was quite an outcry about it shortly afterwards. There was also the "do not resuscitate" scandal:

Corruption is a big problem in many (if not all) organisations. It would be interesting to find out what causes it to happen so often. My guess is that pressures - financial and performance-related - play a big part, also greed, and of course the level of surveillance that would make these things impossible is rarely there.

Yes, the "do not resusitate scandal" was very real & I have had, in my real life, disabled people who I have warned about this - claim that this is propaganda?! It is understandable - they are scared & they don't want to face the reality that their own government supports their euthanasia. But in my opinion people, disabled people have the right & the dignity and deserve to know.

A disabled person acting scared around their carers, makes the carers of that person aware that they are doing something incorrectly/wrong and then if the carers are any good, they should change their behaviour.

I have had my oesophagus torn by a surgeon when I was a teenager, and an NHS GP doctor, looked down my throat when I said I couldn't physically speak anymore (which lasted for a few months) - and he simply shrugged and said "there is a bit of a tear in your oesophagus" and said there was nothing he could do but prescribe some antacid tablets for acid reflux?

It went a bit like this: "Um, sorry we f****d up, please don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, you worthless piece of s**t."

Doctors admit their errors to working class folk, because they know working class patients are too poor to sue and don't have the resources to fight back when they are screwed over. GP's surgeries know your employment status on their systems & everything about you, before you even walk in the door, or before a telephone appointment. That's how socialist control grids work.
