It is me that's sick been fighting cancer for 18 months now and had operations that went all wrong , nearly died twice and spent 7 months in Hospital . The Doctors tried hard to kill me but they failed . Have horrific scaring on my stomach , looks like I stepped on a land mine but under the new compensation laws I will get nothing . Because at my age and both of us already retired the law says we are worth nothing . As we don't have to give up work because of the injury , no loss of income and I am old and my dignity and suffering and pain is of no consequence to our Government unless I was a woman who could claim shame and embarrassment of the scaring because we expect woman to wear revealing cloths and get $200 000 . An old man like me should just cover up and shut up . My lawyers say I will not get much more than the cost of suing and possibly less . I have suffered a year of pain so far , loss of memory , loss of ability to make love , horrific scaring , I get headaches now I never got before but I'm retired so not worth a pinch of sh*t to our Government who changed all the laws to benefit negligent Doctors . So if you are already retired don't expect any compensation from botched medical treatment . It's capped at a lousy $ 250 000 and that would only be for a teenager who gets put in a wheel chair for the rest of their life . How does 250 000 look after your for a life time ? They are looking at the laws now in Parliament but the scumbag Doctors have so much power they all threaten to leave the country and the Government folds . I used to have great respect for Doctors not anymore after what they did to me and not even an apology or explanation nothing they basically abandoned me , well one did abandon me have not seen him since , the other would stand outside the hospital room and talk through the doorway . Anyway that's my story why I have not been around for a long while but I will survive and I will come back it's just going to take longer than I thought .

In regards with your problems, that's why the doctors are still practicing, hoping one day to get it right. Wishing you the best for the future.

Thanks the thing is I have sewn up pig dogs with better results than what these two specialists did to me. My wound was the size of a large desert bowl and is now the size of a small desert bowl when it should have been a thin neat scare healed in 8 weeks instead a near death sentence and still not healed 9 months later . How do they get it so wrong when they have been doing it for decades ? I have no trust in Doctors anymore and hate even talking to one now , they tell lies and victimize people to save their own reputations .
How many people die from medical negligence / incompetence and they cover it up with lies that no one can disprove . Doctors have way too much power and need to be made to take responsibility for their failures like everyone else has to. Everyone in the medical industry nurses included cover up for Doctors because if they blow the whistle they will never work in that field again . It's as bad as the way the Mafia keep silent . Actually I have meta few Mafia guys in my time and I like them better than Doctors now.The volume of a pizza of thickness 'a' and radius 'z' is given by pi z z a.

Very sorry to hear of your health issues there Retromilling, but I hope that the worst is well behind you now, and you are soon up to mischief again. And For PDW's sake, I hope that any Somali pirates down Gippsland way have very leaky boats and no paddles. Have fun there Pete, we are away in a months time, and off to the Kimberley Area to check it out. Back in August all going well.

I think with doctors they're like every other profession there are good ones and not as good ones. Something that has happened in my family recently has made me think that. I think a lot are also overworked, possibly moreso in regional and rural areas. Overall I think most are good for such a complicated thing as the human body. I hope you pull through OK.

My point is the good ones and the bad ones all band together to protect the bad ones and their negligence because they fear it could be them next time . What would happen to me if I protected a criminal that say bashed and assaulted someone ? I would get charged with conspiracy after the fact . How come a Doctor can protect another doctor who has injured someone through incompetence buy refusing to acknowledge any wrong doing , refusing to tell the truth on a report . Refusing to make any negative report at all. Do you know that to get any compensation at all I have to find a doctor in another COUNTRY that will write a report stating that they were negligent . You will not understand until a Doctor nearly kills you and then you will find out what a disgusting situation we have in Australia .

If the negligent Doctors had not have touched me I would have been treated by someone else , maybe a lot better Doctors and my position would be far less pain , no horrific scaring that looks like a Japanese flag on my guts and I have seen M16 jumping jack mines do less damage.
You can't justify the incompetence by saying , " oh but your still alive " It was not these two doctors that saved me it was two other specialists and intensive care Doctor and Nurses .
So don't give me that crap that I should be thankful I am still alive , because if it was left to them I would be dead you don't know the full story and you never will.
The bad doctors did not diagnose my condition it was found by accident and the operations f*cked up royally .The volume of a pizza of thickness 'a' and radius 'z' is given by pi z z a.

Not everyone is in awe of doctors , you go to them for help and they can often stuff everything up .
I am not one to take arrogance and indifference from anyone , I no longer place any trust in the medical profession .
