Gosport hospital deaths

Horrid

Hospital drugs left 456 patients dead

 

Yeah kind of a joke really, but not funny.

Only yesterday, they, the British Government, were doing their usual half hearted dithering about legalising cannabis oil for medical reasons.
But we had crazy doctors bumping people off with opium based drugs twenty years ago.

Really dont understand what is going on.
Especially when the government still claim the moral high ground regarding assisted suicide in extreme cases.

Still smacks of a gutless running of a country as far as I'm concerned, we dont have one politician that is worth his/ her job.
All far too scared to say or do what they really think.

 

To many power people, not enough policing, to many cover up's

Yep, that's Great Britain but not so Great

As my signature says

 

Not just the NHS, all parts of life you can't trust any one no more

 

I’m pretty sure my dad was ‘helped along’. I visited him in hospital (as I did every day) to find he had a ‘driver’. He died overnight. His condition was terminal though, so in this regard I have no strong opinion.

 

Same with my Mum, into Hospice one evening, had a drug pump attached.
Died 24 hours later.
Again she was terminal, and probably for the best, without the drugs the end would have been pretty bad.

 

Corporate manslaughter is rife in the Nhs. Many of the so called "angels" are complicite in this and saying you were just following orders is no excuse for murder.

The scandals that haunt the NHS
Dr Harold Shipman - Responsible for killing at least 215 patients over a 25-year period from the mid 1970s. Many were elderly women who died after he injected them with lethal doses of diamorphine.

Stafford Hospital - Criticised for causing suffering to hundreds of patients during the late 2000s. Trust in charge of hospital later placed into administration.

Bristol heart deaths - Thirty-five babies died and dozens more left brain-damaged by poor practices identified at child heart surgery unit between 1991 and 1995

Morecambe Bay - An inquiry said a "lethal mix" of failures in maternity care led to the deaths of 11 babies and a mother over nine years.

Gosport War Memorial Hospital - Independent panel found there was a "disregard for human life" at hospital where inappropriate use of strong painkillers linked to the deaths of over 450 people.

 

I’m not in any way condoning malpractice, but for a bit of balance, the NHS probably save thousands of lives every day. Indeed, they probably saved mine today.

 

My late father in law was at the end of his life nearly three years ago and we all sat with him for most of the day in the hospital in a side room but myself and Mr Kandy had to leave as it was getting late and Mr Kandys niece wanted a lift back to her parents home to pick up her car to drive back to her home as her hubby was due home after a long day of lorry driving.

So Mr Kandys sister and brother in law stayed with my father in law and not long after we had left a nurse came into the room and administered Morphine and a muscle relaxant (not sure what order it was given in) but within a short time he was gone.

He was nearly 96 so had had a good innings and as he had sepsis so we found out later he wasn’t going to survive very long as his body was packing up but it has made me wonder if the combination of those two drugs ended his life a bit sooner than nature would have intended so nothing surprises me about what has gone on at other hospitals in the past

As an aside it never fails to amaze me that many people are not allowed to end their own lives with the help of either relatives or Dr’s when they have an incuarable disease so have to go to Dignitas( sp) for help but there are all these patients who wanted to live longer was given a push into the next life by so called caring people
