Diabolical

The most diabolical mistake I have ever read, a girl with a history of having TB, died at the age of only 15 after her GP and specialist said she was suffering from being love struck.
Now you can't bring this young lass back, but there has to be some heads roll over this.

This mistake is going to cost the NHS a fortune, and it's our money.
What do you think?

As Andrew Lansley said to the nurses yesterday, things go wrong only rarely - but it's not rare enough in my book.

Re: Diabolical

How unbelievable this story is.
Surely her yearly check-ups, blood tests and/or x-rays would have shown a relapse? Poor girl.

Re: Diabolical

That makes very sad reading Arthur, poor girl. How could this possibly happen in this day and age?. God rest her soul and let's hope they get to the bottom of this and it never happens again.

Re: Diabolical

I too was very shocked to read this.

I'm honestly not being funny here, but where do these foreign-sounding medical practitioners pass their exams to become doctors, and are those qualifications valid in this country?

There was a case recently up here in the North where a patient became seriously ill because she hadn't understood what her GP had told her about some medication due to his lack of fluent English.

Re: Diabolical

It is obvious to me that everybody was following her GP's suggestion that she was lovestruck, instead of reading right through her notes.
Which suggests they probably hadn't enough time because they were understaffed.
This Lasnsley fellow has a lot to answer for, what a shower they are.
