Indivisible 

adjective

unable to be divided or separated.

if there’s one thing I would like the nhs to take on board is the fact that the emotional well being of their patients is just as important as the medical care they receive and if it isn’t a integrated part of the treatment plan it’s often partners and family members that are left at a loss to know how to help their loved ones. That’s what patient centred care should really be, but I see enough posts to tell me that we have much further to go to make it a reality, an example of that would be the after care for men with prostrate cancer and their partners. 

  • Hi Youngman

    as they say Prevention is better than Cure, and how do we prevent... we notice things earlier...and we report it and treat it to prevent escalation...

    by educating are fellow men to be more observant about symptoms and prompting them to go to the doctor is a start...but as men we owe it to urselves to be more vigilant... 

    your right in what you say....many have advanced conditions because they never sought medical advice...for a multitude of reasons

    i don’t know if you remember some years ago a West Indian man who runs a care repair shop in London was diagnosed with prostate cancer, that man went on a mission, he told all his West Indian friends ( hi proportion per population of West Indian males have prostate disease) to get a check up....he went one step further offering discounts on Car M..O.T and repairs if the customer had a prostate check up.....he has saved many many as a result of his good deed and intention....

    Good luck to you YoungMan  I wish you well.....

    Take care of YOU
