[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2287569, member: 345386"] My take on this [USER=526318]@type2_2020[/USER] is that suing the NHS or a doctor is a tortuous route, and you must prove their alleged negligence harmed you. Even doing so, the chances of an damages being paid could be modest, and could be extremely costly - not only in terms of your pocket, but it might irretrievably damage any remaining relationship you have with your doctor. My personal feeling is I am more likely to need my Doc, than they are likely to need me, at some point in the future. In your shoes, I would certainly raise my concerns, in writing, and express your concerns for others as well as yourself, and ask what steps they will be taking to reassure you this could not happen again to you, or anyone else. On that basis, you are asking for an improvement to their services, which I would suggest could be reasonable. Taking a more positive route might also enhance the chances of you getting a prize looking after, moving forward. I have only ever made a written complaint about any services "enjoyed" by our family, and it related to my late mother, delays on her appointments, then absent medical records and so on, following a terminal cancer diagnosis. Having sent my complaint, my mother was never, ever kept waiting - even regularly being seen ahead of others in the queue and before her time. Sadly none of that could save her life. She was indeed terminally ill, but it did reduce her stress levels significantly, and helped reduce the resentment I felt about how my mother had been treated, and was expected to continue with a load of nonsense. Good luck with it all, whatever you decide to do.. [/QUOTE]
