If someone dies because a doctor gives them something which they shouldn't then what happens?

Doctors are trusted to get on with it. They're trusted beyond any other profession and they're responsible for their own oversight.

When it goes wrong doctors admit it and then are left to continue to get on with things. This is sort of strange though given the horrors of recent times.

Thalidomide is one example of a drug which was used on pregnant mothers because it was a convenent way to allieviate morning sickness. The government are still paying out compensation to victims of the tragedy.

Clozapine is another example of a similar tragedy where 3% of patients died in the first 6 months. Though the manufacturers withdrew it doctors got it back because it was so effective. Now it only kills 1.5% of patients directly and many indirectly.

The dementia tragedy is the worst in modern times but there are no victims to pay compensation to. They're already dead. What happened there is a clear example of what happens when doctors have a power - the power of the chemical cosh - and the massive manslaughter which can inadvertently happen. 1,800 a year were killed in the UK unnecessarily. Many more would still have their life expectancy halved by treatment which is supposedly necessary though does nothing to heal the brain. In fact it harms the brain and body but alleviates symptoms.

This is a dangerous mode of treatment which doctors far too easily dole out. The antipsychotic is the drug which is shown to reduce life expectancy, cause illness and kill people. It does not heal the organic illness and causes harm. It suppresses symptoms but it does not heal the illness.

Every year these drugs are killing many, many people. Every year no one gives a shit because they trust doctors to get it right and there is no oversight.

When 1,800 elderly people were killed every year there was barely any public outcry. There was no punishment for the profession. Worst of all, the Department of Health wrote back to tell me they were reducing the number of unnecessary deaths to a third.

Who wouldn't want to top themselves given this mad world. I can do nothing more I think. No one cares. Everyone trusts doctors. I am one crazy lonely poor freak.
