Beware of what NHS doctors tell you

 I feel that it is important to raise this issue. Last year, in May, as I have said before, I was admitted to hospital with a serious lung abscess accompanied by an extensive pleural effusion. At the same time I was diagnosed with  severe diabetes. The diabetes was quickly brought under control. The abscess on the lung was more problematic for the respiratory doctors they could not decide whether to drain the abscess with key hole surgery or with just antibiotics. Twice I went into the operating room to have the surgery, and twice the doctors decided at the last minute not to perform the operation because it was in a dangerous position.  The opinion of my primary doctor prevailed and she discharged me from hospital with a course of antibiotics.

Vulnerable

1)           Introduction It is my contention that humanity believes that it is invulnerable and acts as if its society will go on forever. However, this is untrue, and it is part of a false belief. Let’s take Ukraine as an example; in 2012 they hosted the European football championships. The world was looking up for Ukraine; they were about to apply for membership of the European Union, and they were looking forward to joining NATO. In 2022 Russia invaded. This was a disaster for Ukraine in general and also a disaster for some of its individual citizens, who either died on the battlefield or were severely wounded. Likewise, thousands of Russian young men were called up to serve on the battlefield and many were killed or severely wounded on military service.   History has countless examples of disasters which destroy lives from natural causes such as disease and starvation, and from wars, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes etc. In 1945, few, in Ja...
