If you work in the care industry yourself, why would you make such dis-paraging remarks about it.

I heard this morning that the powers that be are going to limit the use of a drug for alzheimers ……apparently this drug prolongs a symptom free period in sufferers of this condition. There reasoning for limiting use is that this drug doesnt actually cure the alheimers………wots that all bout then???????

We have all also heard news reports of late about postcoded treatment, how some cancer vicitms cannot recieve revolutionary new drugs etc………

My point is there cant be many people who havent given to the various medical research charities, so why are we giving if it is almost a case of russian roulette as to whether you will get the treatment anyway?

hugsssssss xxxx

I don’t know much about the drugs Cath, but I do agree with you, in that they do prolong a sympton free period so achieving a better quality of life for the sufferer.

There’s no actual ”cure” for cancer. There are various treatments, some of which I received myself and i’m in remission, but thats all they can do. The threat is always there that it could come back, in a lot of cases it does.

Cancer treatment does itself, become a postcode lottery, and it’s exactly like the authorities playing russian roullette with peoples lives and it’s sooooo wrong!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I read in one of the newspapers, I can’t remember which one, but on the same page, was the story about John Prescott, having technically been sacked, but keeping his salary, and all the other things that make his life comfortable. The other story was about a woman who had died, lost her battle with cancer, the night before. She left behind, a husband and children. She was 26. Her local NHS authority had refused to fund her treatment. The story was obviously done for effect, but for me it worked, it had the desired effect of thinking that I hope John Prescott enjoys his luxury, I hope too that one day, he will be given no other choice, than to have to play the game of russian roullette with his own life.

What would you care? It’s only people that can’t get other jobs and are on minimum wages anyway. Oh and aren’t foreigners taking over all these jobs?

You do a huge dis-service to the genuine people who do work in the care industry with that statement :roll:

How did you get a City and Guilds out of interest? You can’t spell for shit and you come across as terribly thick. Do they give them to anyone nowadays?

As a mature student, a few years back. When I sat both my GCSE and ‘A’ Level English, we were told by the tutors that the actual spellings in whatever we wrote didn’t count as much as the correct grammer, composition etc etc., Not really having had a problem with spelling anyway, it didn’t affect me too much. I suppose what i’m trying to say is, that it blows that particular argument out of the water too :roll:

Anyway why aren’t you out on a job at gone 11am? Since when did ‘pummers’ become office bound?

And as a good parent these tests shouldn’t concern you.
The tests are a way of finding bad parents.
Bad parents create many of societies ills.

I’m a good parent Owen, my son isn’t at school anymore but it’d concern me if he was, for the reasons iv’e already said, he was in fact underweight. Would there then have been questions as to why!? I can understand Gyps concerns too, and I think she has very valid points. Tests such as these can badly affect children who are of a sensitive nature to begin with.

As for your theory of, ”if your a good parent, youv’e nothing to worry about”. I soooooo disagree!! What your saying is like, oh well, lets punish everyone and that way we’ll find the real culprits. :roll:

I have a theory. Lets say,,,,,,,,,,make all the McDonalds, Chicken (or in my area, Pidgeon) fast food outlets, close, when the kids are coming out of school. In the area I live in, all you see in kids on their way home from school with either McDonalds, or KFC, leaving a trail of debri behind them!!! It’s not because these people can’t cook, they’re just too dam lazy!!!

I disagree, unhealthy food is often cheaper than healthy food. You could probably get a burger from McDonalds for 70p while lean, minced beef would cost you a lot more. Likewise, a can of fizzy drink and a packet of crisps will cost a lot less than a bottle of pure fruit juice and a packet of unsalted nuts. Basically, the healthier you want to eat, the more it will cost you.

Rubbish :roll:

I saw this too Squeezy, made me feel physically sick :(

I don’t want to know about the mothers ‘state of mind’, there’s just no excuse, well not for me anyway. I agree with Ruby, it wasn’t necessary, not when it could have just been left outside of a hospital or even someones front door, ring the doorbell and walk away. Someone would have looked after it. To dump a child is one thing, to cause it the injuries it sustained is despicable beyond belief. Whatever state of mind she may have been in, she either did this, or allowed it to happen.

I’d say she deserves everything she gets, but then I spose the do-gooders will be out in force bleating that she needs help!!, yea she needs help alright, not the kind they’re thinking of tho. :(

They should only worry about the children that are clearly and visually overweight or underweight, weights for children have only ever been a guideline for health workers. I’m always advocating good welfare for children, and making sure children are well-cared for, but there are limits!! Some children that were *podgy* in their childhood pictures often grow up to be adults of a normal weight!! We have so many images and idealisms in the media today as it is, are these children going to end up the next generation of youngsters to grow up with a complex about their weight because of a test they took as a 4-year old?? They should think very clearly before embarking on such campaigns!!

Couldn’t agree more Tory. It’s bad enough at the moment with girls as young as 7 or 8, worrying about their appearance. I have to agree with you that something like this would surely only serve to make that particular area worse. :shock:

For a lot of reasons, my own sons diet was such that he was underweight, not by much, but still underweight. He’s coming up 18 now and his weights pretty healthy now, but it wasn’t as a child.

All 3 of my girls fall in the “underweight” category, they eat me out of house and home especially the twins, so I wonder what the authorities would make of that un
