Suicide could be a remedy... ...failing that, don't worry about it. No point letting half-wit NHS doctors looking...
It's not the doctors, it's the system thats f**ked.
Hey KW, say that when one of those doctors puts you on a 4 month course of chemotherapy for the wrongly diagnosed tumour that eventually takes nearly 2 years to be properly diagnosed & taken out just in time to save your life! 'The system' is just thast... doctors and all mate! 
I understand your feelings Phil. However, that was ( possibly) one mis-diagnosis by one doctor. Is the doctor that finally made the right call and seemingly saved your life a tosser too
? Was the initial diagnosis actually made by an experienced doc, or a houseman (student!) --- the system allows life or death decisions to be made by inexperienced individuals with little supervision.
KW is right in that the system is fundamentally flawed and training young doctors VERY "old-school" ...... "I worked 28 hours a day for 8 days a week, why shouldn't they!?".
I have seen very competent young doctors reduced to helpless wrecks by the stress of their first times on the wards.
They are dropped in the deep end and left virtually unsupervised while their consultant is off playing golf or at the local private hospital, supplimenting his NHS pay.
Where else but the health service are consultants paid to be in NHS hospitals while they are off on the second job earning mega bucks ( often using NHS resources doing it).
?
No ... I think KW has got it right. I revise my assessment ... it's not "fundamentally flawed" ... it IS f**ked !!!
