31st August 2025
After the debacle from yesterday, there was calm, and the eager wait for the spare part to arrive.
I had an hour long video call with my friend Martin, he told me he has lost nearly two stone in five weeks, he looked painfully thin.
He cannot eat solid food now and has to rely on soup and yogurt.
All this is happening to the poor chap yet his blood tests have come back normal. His doctor has reduced his pain medication trying instead to get him on a type of fentanyl. He has lost the use of his right arm, and his hand is beginning to close.
Is this the state of the NHS? Doctors swear an oath “to do no harm” but instead “ Do no good”.
His story starts when he was part of a program of 12 children suffering from Tourette’s during the late sixties, at the National Hospital where they were given experimental drugs in an attempt to treat the condition. He believes he was given psychotic medication, which is why he continues to have violent outbursts to this day.
To his knowledge, he is the only survivor of these tests with many committing suicide.
I have known him for thirty years, I have seen his decline, and his battle with the establishment.
He believes his medical history has something that needs to be covered up, of course this is his story, but I believe him.
Ever since Covid, where doctors did not inform the patients of the possible side effects, I have lost my trust in their abilities to tell the truth.
In fact I do not believe anyone in authority anymore, if they can lie about that they can lie about everything.
Now I have to watch my friend twitch in pain, who cannot sleep, and is getting no help, how would you feel?
