#43 I fear that unless there are some guidelines the situation will never be controlled. Sadly in such circumstances there will be winners and losers.
Watching a recent documentary which featured a converted car ferry used by a charity to provide hospital and other important basic healthcare provision. It's arrival in the west African state of Togo meant that the population of five million suddenly had a third medical facility! People queued patiently to be seen each of them showing signs of serious disability or illness. As one by one they were offered life saving treatment each came away displaying huge appreciation for the services provided by a group of essentially volunteers.
These days in the uk we often here stories of children with rare conditions whose parents understandably launch into a PR campaign to seek help, I believe they should get it, we have abolished many previously dangerous diseases and can perform fantastic feats of surgery but I still cannot get my head round the needs ALL A&E departments have to employ security guards, or why someone drunk as a skunk or drugged up should be entitled to a taxi home.
