No, it’s you as usual missing the point here and going down your tried and tested route of “infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it infamy” . Once again you’re looking for faces in the clouds where none exist.
Someone has decided to target male prostate cancer and has set about it by posting “unsolicited “ testing kits to men of a certain demographic. Nobody cares if you don’t avail yourself of this free service. Your prostate, your choice. But please don’t twist it in your all too predictable Machiavellian manner by pretending this is something that it’s not.
OK, let’s use your example here:
Let’s say I’m suseptible to Prostate Cancer but not any other kind.
Send me a kit for that then, rather than something that hasn’t even been reported in my family - ever (unlike Prostate cancer, that has…)
Treatments, especially of the “minority report” kind - should be better-targeted. This is what I’m trying to get across here.
It Beggars belief that the NHS is NOT using medical files on each and everyone in the country to help avoid certain ailments that those individuals are actually suseptible to - to target the right treatment at the right time.
Let’s say now I’m paranoid that I do have bowel cancer, and then use the kit as was originally intended by those errant (at best) or conspiratal (at worst)…
Let’s say I get the positive result, but it’s a faux positive based on a minor condition I’ve had in the past (say, piles…)
I then get put onto long-winded, unpleasant and likely unnecessary oncology treatment, having to take unpaid time off to attend, and feeling right sick a lot of the duration of the treatment…
When they find there was “nothing wrong with me in the first place” - they then argue that I’m fully cured, or at least in remission, to avoid the malpractice lawsuit that would be forthcoming for putting me through all that crap…
There’s no bloody upside to all of that!
I don’t trust the NHS any more.
I won’t be trusting them - until they co-ordinate IT with medical records with cross-clearing like the 24/7 BANKING system or 24/7 TRANSPORT freight-forwarding system uses.
“Confidential” medical records as we are led to believe - helps no one BUT the NHS avoid lawsuits - by simply carrying on this conspiracy of silence.
THAT is where I am suggesting the main body of the conspiracy is here.
The best way I see it to avoid the NHS killing me either by accident, or more likely by sheer neglect - is to avoid using it altogether.
Trouble is, I still need a GP referal letter to bloody well go private these days, which kinda puts me back to square one IF I ever actually get ill in a way that makes me seek immediate medical attention that I don’t have much faith in getting, come the day…
