Would nt shift from their position and all stood firm together reciting th e words 'in my expert opinion, its futile care' We got on drfoster to try to find a second opinion, feeling his age was beign used against him - he was 85, but still workign full time in engineering, still paying full tax and ni, and acting as unpaid carer for stroke disabled girlfriend. fit as a flea, karnofsky status at least 80-90, but you know, these time limits....at 3 horus 50 in A & E, they had said he was well enough to go home!!!<BR/>Anyway, he died at 5.50 on the 6th morning.<BR/>They put the cause of death down as 'renal cell carcinoma' so we had the coroner do a post mortem - and the inside of the kidney was viable tissue, the adrenal and lymph nodes were 100% clear, and the renal vein just had blood in it. worse still , immunohisto we paid privatelyfor showed it was a lwo grade tumour borderline onco. worse still, he was given alfentanil and midazolam sc (which means they slipped it in iv and knew no one knew that was the anaesthetic route they use to supress respoiration on a ventilator.<BR/><BR/>found loads of pubmed articles that show age is no indicator of survival or success in surgery - eg 5 eyar cancer specific survival is 85% in patients all over 80 years (pubmed 18410435).<BR/>Coroner was happy it was 'natural causes' - he is a legal appointee, and his 'pathologist' is a clapped out gp with absolutely no rcpath qualifications at all!<BR/>police arent interested, and of the 56 solicitors contacted, all are too busy to help with either med neg claim or judicial review to get coroner to hold a full inquest - SOOOOOO, <BR/>just shove all your cancer patients over the age of 79 on the Liverpool Express - no one will give a shit, not the police, the coroner, or a single solicitor - <BR/>fuckers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-46578823250215020792008-05-15T10:05:00.000+01:002008-05-15T10:05:00.000+01:002008-05-15T10:05:00.000+01:00Happy 500th blogiversary.Dragonflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12759938692575603663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-91134644130363985342008-05-14T19:08:00.000+01:002008-05-14T19:08:00.000+01:002008-05-14T19:08:00.000+01:00if i get any time ill put an entry in<BR/><BR/>been a bit busy recently<BR/><BR/>the real no one<BR/><BR/>not the fucking imposter cuntAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-30178484900169875772008-05-13T22:31:00.000+01:002008-05-13T22:31:00.000+01:002008-05-13T22:31:00.000+01:00We might also get a patient participation group (for free and frank interchanges of course)...although an alliance of doctors and patients against the management would be better still. And we have said on here that (mostly) the patients are not the problem.<BR/><BR/>How about a scaly dragon receptionist? The receptionist's tale deserves to be told. <BR/><BR/>Or what about a Mrs Rant? Where's me husband? What's he up to now? etc.<BR/><BR/>There might be a few characters who could add to the fun on here.
