Little girl dies of cancer after doctors assume facial lump ‘was caused by parents’

1. What ridiculous doctors did they see? Each one should have their medical license stripped.

2. Absolutely heartbreaking and appalling care from the doctors, the saddest thing is as with every single one of these cases the NHS will shift blame around, close ranks and nothing will change, no one will be held to account.

3. The last time I went to see a doctor they told me my illness was due to “the way god made me” and sent me on my way.

4. What the actual fuck, was the doctor visually impaired

5. That’s what happens when you have 4 decades of trying to privatize the NHS by stealth.

   You are lucky if you can get a dentist in many places. Was the first appointment actually with a GP or physician associates (PA) instead?

6. The usual “Lessons will be learned” what fecking lessons??! Will these lessons be able to bring her back?! I partly blame the government for overworking doctors so they are overstretched, tired, frustrated and don’t have time to really give attention and resources to each diagnosis.

   But some doctors aren’t blameless, lots of consultants and doctors these days have passed the tests, but don’t have any compassion.

7. This really scares me.

   Why are there so many incompetent doctors?

   RIP beautiful child. I can’t imagine the pain her parents must be feeling.

8. This makes me nervous. My dad’s been diagnosed with cancer and the last few months have just been a bunch of tests weeks apart without pretty much anything being done. I don’t even know what the state of the cancer is at this point apart from it’s a large lump and the lump in another location they found isn’t related. I want to say the lack of rush means it’s not an emergency but things like this make me more worried.
