It doesnt matter what the odds are as long as they are slightly in your favour!
This really pisses me off as I have patients that were refused treatment because of the adverse "odds", yet if they could afford it, other countries would have admitted them for surgery yesterday!
What they hell do we pay our NI for!

The NHS could treat everyone if the basic rate of tax went up to 25% - but there's no votes in that. We're a cheapskate nation with a cheapskate health service.

I hear of good cancer drugs that are to expensive to be given for free on the nhs. Especially avastin which can actually make your tumours shrink and become operable.
These people play god with their lives and I'm surprised that someone terminal hasnt played god with their lives.
