Death Panel.....here's some pointers from the UK National Health Service on how it works....

I see not just amputations on the wrong limb....but on the wrong patient.

and don't expect quick response for a broken arm:

And so you have an acute appendix....?

Mark Wattson, 35, from Swindon may have been the victim of botched surgery after he had to have his appendix removed twice

To his shock, surgeons from the same team told him that not only was his appendix still inside him, but it had ruptured - a potentially fatal complication.

In a second operation it was finally removed, leaving Mr Wattson fearing another organ might have been taken out during the first procedure.

The blunder has left Mr Wattson jobless, as bosses at the shop where he worked did not believe his story and sacked him.

Mr Wattson told of the moment he realised there had been a serious mistake.

'I was lying on a stretcher in terrible pain and a doctor came up to me and said that my appendix had burst,' he said.

'I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I told these people I had my appendix out just four weeks earlier but there it was on the scanner screen for all to see.

'I thought, "What the hell did they slice me open for in the first place?"

'I feel that if the surgery had been done correctly in the first place I wouldn't be in the mess I am today. I'm disgusted by the whole experience.'

Mr Wattson first went under the knife on July 7 after experiencing severe abdominal pain for several weeks. He was discharged but exactly a month later he had to dial 999 after collapsing in agony. Mr Wattson

Mr Wattson was readmitted to the Great Western Hospital in Swindon after his appendix ruptured.

130,000 elderly patients killed every year by ‘death pathway’, claims leading UK doctor

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway.”

That nurse is making me long for the comfort of a 12 gauge, in a “That outfit is creeping me the hell out” sort of way.

What is the retention rate, or better yet the lifespan of doctors in the UK???

I have a feeling that if this begins to manifest itself here in the good ole USofA, that there may be a shortage of doctors in the near future...

Then what are they gonna do???

I also see the people in those kush, non-physician medical insurance review boards becoming extinct as well...

Anyway you look at this, there is no real winning senario here for communism...

We may vbery well have to suffer a little more, but the backlash (I feel) is primed and ready to be unleashed, and these goobers are nowhere near prepared for the attention that is about to focus on them...

Job security??? Hehehe, the more people end up with botched procedures, and arms looking like this...

The need to “spread the wealth/pain” will reach new hieghts...

This is just a gut-feeling I have...We can stave off this un-necessary, and potential response, if we can do everything we can to make this Tax go away...It may take 2-3 years, but the ends justify the means...

It was never about Healthcare in the first place, so why are we struggling to debate and converse about something that this whole thing is NOT about???

We gave the elected caste of knuckleheads their chance to defund it, get rid of it, and they failed miserably...

The people in this country will have the last laugh...

Elections have consequenses, and the conservative movement in this country has been losing the battles since 2006...With only a minor saving grace in 2010...We got lucky there...

“What are YOU prepared to do about it, and what are YOU willing to sacrifice to succeed?”

Those stodgy old white guys 230+ years ago were not fiddle farting around...they may have had their personal and professional dissagreements on how the thing should go, but after a few pints at the local pub, after a long day of debate, they parted on amiable terms, went home, and in those evenings sat with their families and made musket balls...They knew what they were doing would bring a fight, and for all intents and purposes:

That creepy nurse in the full burka gives me one saving reassurance. At least she won’t put any hairs into anyone’s hospital soup.
