    Incompetent Doctor
    Am I just being over sensitive or do I have a reason to be feeling bloody angry. My brother and I went to read Dad's medical certificate this morning prior to his funeral tomorrow. As I was reading through there was a question about wether a post mortem had been carried out, it was ticked yes and also if they had the notes from it, also ticked yes.

I am sure...

    Today started bad with my husband having been up during the night when he seemed much worse. I phoned his cancer nurse to explain. I was really concerned.

We had a few visitors a good friend of his and close relatives. My daughter and son in-law my son and his girlfriend were coming for tea. Tea-time saw a change in his mood. Because I had lots of...
