Docs issuing prescriptions with no signature

And pharmacy's handing out the drugs when the prescription has no signature

And some prescription signatures are nothing more than a one or two centimetre straight line

Are the GP receptionists so clever that they don't actually need the docs to keep the patients prescriptions flowing?

Or does this make a mockery of the whole prescription system?

Does anyone audit the prescriptions returned to the nhs for payment from the pharmacies to verify the signatures even exist?

Are docs too busy to be bothered with which patients get which drugs when?

Is self-prescribing and self-referral really so much worse than this?

Are the untrained receptionists way out of their depth?

Man dies after inhaling anthrax

I wonder, was he told to piss off you don't get antibiotics in the nhs for a chest infection until you've visited the doctor at least half a dozen times? Fuck off and die cos that's gonna solve the c diff problem much better than actually cleaning the wards of the hospitals?

Fucking useless cunts in the NHS

So we have the comments

"The death rate from inhalation anthrax is very high regardless of clinical intervention. As far as I am aware there is nothing to suggest that this mans care was sub-standard.

How this example relates to everyone in the NHS being cunts is beyond me."

Which is bollocks, anthrax is routinely wiped out by antibiotics if caught early enough

The NHS are cunts because those old fashioned medical fashions like examinations and taking history from the patient have been replaced by "looks similar to the cold flu to me, we don't give antibiotics out for that, go away and come back if it doesn't clear up" if you can get to see a doc in the first place

Another related tale, nothing to do with Anthrax but brings similar issues out:

Large family on holiday somewhere in Asia, towards the end of the holiday they all develop minor cold like symptoms

At the end of the holiday half the family fly to Australia, the other half to the UK

The symptoms for the entire family get worse, sore throat, fever, etc and all of them go to different docs in Australia and the UK.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IN AUSTRALIA WAS GIVEN ANTIBIOTICS and was symptom free within a few days

Every single one of them in the UK was given the old fuck off its a cold we don't give antibiotics for that clap trap, and went on to have a fever and bad symptoms for 2 weeks or more

NOW IM NOT A MEDIC but this demonstrates for me how fucked up and useless the NHS is, stories like this are too common place, my own experience of the difference between prescriptions from private docs in the UK and the non prescription from NHS fucktards is all there for the public to see day in day out

The lies and crap from the NHS are so obvious for all to see

THAT'S WHY THE NHS IS FULL OF CUNTS
