So my dad goes to the doctor 4 weeks ago complaining that his leg keeps on locking and he can't walk. The doctor says it's fine and sends him away with pain killers.
the story continues.........
He was on holiday in france last week when he was in too much pain to walk. so my mum takes him to hospital where they x-ray his leg. This shows him that he's chipped cartilidge or something ( it's just under the kneecap). It's a famous fotballing injury
I was thinking we could get some money via a claim cos' the french doc's gave him the x-ray to take home. My dad, after paying tax all his life for the nhs, doesn't want to claim, what a zoomer. I was thinking we could get about 5 grand out the ******s. Thats a new car for me. |

| to be fair tho mate if youre gona sue the NHS, u goto be in it for the long hall, we're talking years here and maybe £5000 aint worth the hassle involved, i doubt id sue them. I could because a doctor ed up a minor-op on my left arm and has left me with a 3cmx2cm scar, i could easily sue on that but it really aint worth the agro. |

Yeh, thats nasty.
My grandad had a car accident like 20 years ago and badly damanged his leg - he needed his bone reconstructed or something (im not sure). After long operation and loads of hastle they put the wrong bloody bandage on and it started to fester (eww yes). The bone became infected, it never healed and he had to have his leg amputated. It was due to heal no problem before.
Can happen anywhere, not just the Nhs, and you dont want it to be so everyone sues for anything. However, this is probably one of those times when you should sue - like my grandad should have - but people dont wanna claim because its more hastle and they just wanna recover etc. |

I know u may not agree, but doctors are only human, they can get things wrong, as we all can.
And as for sueing the NHS - that will make it worse. If everyone sued them then the already inadequate service would become even worse, potentially making occurrences such as this with your Dad's knee happen more often. |

The reason why its so inadequate is tha the NHS are under staffed and under payed mostly nurses!
It all come down to the goverment! |
