Lol for years the NHS has tried to ignore and bellittle the illness, i already stated way back that this is to cover them selves. thats obviouse, But saying everything ive said is irrelevent is short sighted i think, just because there not advertising this new ADMMISSION everywhere, doesnt mean its not a milestone admission. Of course there not going to make a fan fare out of this, notice how there was no statement about this, they just quitely slipped it in like no one would notice.
First you said this can be explained as depession. well thats clearly wrong. ( and the flu comments i think ) so then you go looking for other admissions by them elsewhere, and see the lack of it as evidence that this still means nothing, even though the depression idea doesnt really work. Well im afraid we will have to agree to disaagree on this, Just because there trying to be low key about this, and cover there backs, does not mean including us with the at risk neurological disease high risk groups is meaningless, far from it. because we know the reasons they quietly slipped this in, not broadcasting it everywhere. especially makes it understandable why indeed this is relevent beyond beief, and i think all of your statements so far have been plain wrong and dare i say it irrelevant. can you imagine a conversation with a GP now this has happened, and he wants to send a patient to a psychiatrist, and the patient says no, i want to see a neurologist. and the GP says no sorry the illness is considered purely somatic by the NHS, and you NOW but couldnt before ( irrelevent ? ) can point out, ahh but your wrong. the NHS has us listed in the high risk group of neurological disease that needs protecting from influenza ( even if one has to look for that INCLUSION ) A little more than they would prefer. The GP Now now has to either publicly state he dissagrees with the NHS classification of the illness. in which case refuse the flu jab. ( possibly risking a inquiry ) As hes opinion is clearly not agreeing with the NHSs assesment of the condition. or put hes personal opinions aside, and fall into line with this NEW addition to the at risk group. and reluctantly send the patient to a neurologist. Not a psychiatrist. If you cant see the huge ( and many ) implications this addition to the neurological at risk group will likely bring for all of us. then im just flabbergasted. Im such a sceptic ( as nearly everyone probably knows about me here ) about anything the NHS does and says about this illness. that i dont say all this lightly, i firmly believe we are seeing a very slow ( and quite ) u turn here, that is anything but irrelevant. Well thats my opinion. if you dont agree fair enough, each to there own. personally it seems so obviouse to me. I just cant see how your not getting the ramifications of what they have said. rather concentrating on where they are saying it ? now that seems completely irrelevant to me
