Luckier than some

I have reckon I have always got some good treatment and been well looked after by NHS. (Private hospitals in HK, Vietnam gave me good service too and I got lucky in Croatia.) So it is sobering to read the following in the Manchester Metro News.

A father died of testicular cancer after his GP sent him home with paracetamol tablets, his family claim.
Farmer Billy Finney, 32 repeatedly complained of a lump on his groin, pain in his leg, sickness, weight loss and tiredness.
But his family say that despite seeing his doctor four times in 12 months, he was never given proper medical examination or referred to hospital.
