13,000 patients died needlessly at 14 of the worst NHS trusts
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | July 13, 2013 | Laura Donnelly and Patrick Sawer

The NHS’s medical director will spell out the failings of 14 trusts in England, which between them have been responsible for up to 13,000 “excess deaths” since 2005.

Prof Sir Bruce Keogh will describe how each hospital let its patients down badly through poor care, medical errors and failures of management, and will show that the scandal of Stafford Hospital, where up to 1,200 patients died needlessly, was not a one-off.

 Show that the warning signs were there for managers and ministers to see, including alarming levels of infections, patients suffering from neglect and appalling blunders such as surgery performed on the wrong parts of bodies.

That’s what socialized “medicine” is all about. It’s a sneaky way for communist governments to cull the herd without the herd ever knowing what is going on. Baaa. Baaa.

Another example of “universal healthcare/ socialized medicine” is a weird story, but it turns out the real reason the man died is because he didn’t get prompt medical care:

Brazilian man dies after cow falls through his roof on top of him (genuine news)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3042611/posts

“Rescuers took Mr de Souza to hospital with a fractured left leg but no other obvious injuries, reporting that he was conscious and talking normally.

Hours later however he died from internal bleeding while still waiting to be seen by doctors, according to his family.

...”But in my view it wasn’t the cow that killed our Joao (his brother-in-law said), it was the unacceptable time he spent waiting to be examined.” “

Now consider that there are over 500 NHS trusts in the UK.

Now for a couple of articles about the DeathCare in the UK. And it's not just the purposeful "euthanasia", it's the vile heartless inhuman neglect, too! Coming right at us. If the "medical profession" wants to kill me, I'd rather die peacefully in my own home without them!

Want on/off any of my pinglists? Freepmailify me.

When regulations kill people they’ll just regulate that people not die.

The London Olympics where they displayed bizarre affection for their “free” health care.
