The paramedic asked me if i had seen a doctor and when i said the doctor said i had had a 100 day cough , he was not very impressed and quoted "where the hell do they get these ideas"..so what do you believe the ads or the doctors ...fortunately it looks like my 3 month cough is a result to a reaction to Ramipril a blood pressure drug
When my MIL died it turned out the anaesthetist couldn't speak English, the surgeon was unable to understand what was said. But come the inquest apparently this was never a problem and he denied saying when he came out of the operation that the idiot didn't tell him what was going on so he could have stopped and helped her. Covered up completely, two years later 2 more deaths and the problem was addressed but why did it take at least 3 deaths before a nurse in the end came forward and whistle blew ? At our own surgery everyone knows one of the nurses is incompetent (at best) so why when a patient mentions this do they all whisper I know but can't say anything ? Surely they should be shouting it and getting her retrained or out the door ?

Never see a Doctor, Doctors are a HEALTH HAZZARD.

There is now, politically and professionally, an expectation of a preventive component to every general practice consultation.

And what you say about a preventive component is not new, so not sure what your point is.
But I think I'll move on from this thread now as I suspect it will go round in circles...
