andsome Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 It now looks as though doctors will have to tell Alzheimer patients to wait until they are in a more advanced state of the disease, before they can be treated. Drugs used until now to treat the early stages are probably in future to be withheld until the disease advances. THE MIND BOGGLES. What next????????Look here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 It's all part of Tony's "brand new world". He claimed he wanted to do some real improvements and reorganisation, as part of his "legacy", during his third term.Edit:- sopll chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Heart attack -> no treatment until the patient is blue, no detectable heart beat and has stopped breathing. Only then is resuscitation permitted. When sufficiently conscious (if ever) the patient is then quizzed about their lifestyle, weighed, a full dietary analysis made and the nicotine level in the blood measured. If everything is in order, further treatment may then be administered. That'll cut a few quid from the NHS bill. They'll be able to buy in a few more adminstrative staff with the money saved.

Let's double the managers and halve the carers, that's the way to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole idea is that one in every two NHS workers will eventually be managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 he has no idea how to even run a booze up in a breweryThat's completely untrue, just look at the revisions to the licensing laws, running the worlds biggest piss up is the one thing they can do well, it will also be Tony's legacy and how he gets into the guiness book of records.PS treatment of sclerotic livers and other alcohol related illnesses by the NHS need to be funded, and that may have something to do with the reduction of alzheimers medication prescriptions.cynical old git ain't I ? Unfortunately not, alcohol related illness costs the NHS £200 Million no matter how well intentioned the incumbent government, the NHS budget isn't bottomless and the funds for the binge drinkers have to come from somewhere. Tony's loosening of the licensing laws is opposed by the police and the NHS, only Tony his cronies and the big boose companies think it's a good idea.
