sjc Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Latest "Inside Health" on Radio 4 covers a bit on A&E Meningitis sounds scary. Pretty sure a young man died in his sleep at home in Glasgow, quite recently. Take it from someone that's had bacterial meningitis (the bad one that kills!), it's not that easy to diagnose........I only had fever & flu like symptoms until losing consciousness. The local GP thought it might have been leukemia or meningitis! It was only confirm with the lumber puncture. Easy to critise Doctors & the NHS.

sjc Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Are you sure it wasn't scurvy? Lol.....that was last year! Nah...I had meningitis when I was 14yo....which was quite unusual back in 1990. More common now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McB Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Cancer survival rates in the UK are among the worst in Europe –not least because thousands of people are diagnosed too late. And many thousands more are treated with a lack of compassion or denied the right to die where they want. http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Documents/GetInvolved/Campaigns/MPs/MacmillanGEbriefing.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
