It appears that a tragic story is unfolding. I am not sure who you mean by ‘they’ as in ‘they have the nerve to criticise gun owners’.

panoma1 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 All medical professionals are honest, trustworthy pillars of society and all gun owners are untrustworthy, sick, crooks...at least that appears to be the supposition the police are working on!

Gordon R Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Obviously the person concerned is in a minority in the medical profession, but it shows that you don't need a gun to kill someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) There have been more members of the public murdered by the hands of medical professionals than by any other means. Edit to say. In the UK over the past 50 years at least. Someone posted a link somewhere. The numbers where quite outstanding Edited July 4, 2018 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Its hard to judge until the facts emerge, got to give it more time. . . 1 minute ago, stevo said: There have been more members of the public murdered by the hands of medical professionals than by any other means. Practically everybody who dies in a hospice probably dies from a morphine OD, my Dad certainly did. But he went peacefully, without pain and with dignity. When my time comes I would want the same.

West wasn't a member of the medical profession, neither was Nilsen to the best of my knowledge. Christie and Haigh predate the NHS I think so may be irrelevant. Harold and Bev were tragic figures who gave the medical profession a bad name through their atrocious acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham M Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) https://www.ranker.com/list/serial-killer-nurses/april-a-taylor https://www.ranker.com/list/serial-killers-who-were-doctors/ranker-crime It may sound a bit mean but when you consider that thousands of shooters were demonised by the media for the deaths of 15 kiddies and their teacher, why is it that we don't see the same demonising of the medical profession when they have murdered hundreds of people..........simple, because we know that there are thousands of good doctors and nurses. But by the same token there are thousands of good, decent law-abiding gun owners............but we are a prime target for the anti gun brigade aren't we.

Gordon R Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Quote Practically everybody who dies in a hospice probably dies from a morphine OD, my Dad certainly did. But he went peacefully, without pain and with dignity. When my time comes I would want the same. Anyone who has had a relative pass away in a hospice would know exactly what you mean, Vince. It is a very grey area and I would not like to demonise those who work there. I have received brilliant treatment from the NHS, but also been treated appallingly - morphine withheld by a nurse who didn't subscribe to pain relief. She is now dead - no great loss to the world. That said, Graham is correct in that the gullible public are all too ready to jump on a bandwagon - ban handguns - without knowing or considering all the facts.

scutt Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 lets be honest we all new that the family Doc would help folk pass with pain relief and the family would be grateful for it. But now cos of fear of the good and just law firms who only want to help the bereaved by appealing to the greedy side of peoples nature and getting compensation ( FUNDS DEDUCTED FROM THE NHS )and obviously not inn it to make money for themselves. The medical profession have to let the patient linger on in pain . That said this case does seam to be the act of a nutter BUT AS ALWAYS LESSONS WILL BE LEARNT. As an aside I don't think it was the public who had the influence to get handguns banned but more like the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I was given care of the amount of morphine that could be administered to my mother when I looked after her for the last couple of weeks of her life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
