NHS Exposed's Diamorphine Series

We present the NHS Exposed Diamorphine Series.

Involuntary Euthanasia is more common than the medical profession would have us all believe. The cases are shut down through the police because it will be "too terrifying for the public". Why did Dr Harold Shipman remain undetected for so many years? This was due to currently unresolved flaws in the system. We do not wish to instil fear but make the public think about this issue. Most doctors in the NHS are caring and compassionate but the patient is unprotected from those who have ingrained personality deficits. There are still doctors who are calculating and wish to terminate a life in order to have an undisturbed night. The medical profession protects its own. It protects the reputation of the establishment at the cost of lives. These doctors are not Harold Shipman but simply discriminatory in their attitudes. "Well she is old so what kind of quality of life does she have?" "Well, he is disabled so what quality of life does he have?" Doctors are playing God because the GMC is clearly inept at protection and the establishment protects these doctors until it is too late.

We will present a series of stories which elucidate the extent of the problem. The first case concerns the mother of Olwyn Bowen who was killed by an overdose of diamorphine. This case is from a sleepy town in Wales where the Bowen family had to learn to fight a system that was more corrupt than they had envisaged. They have fought this case for many years now, and it has featured in the Daily Express with comments from Dr Treloar. This could happen to any of us. It was just a matter of probability that it happened to the Bowens.

The second case concerns Mr David Glass, a 14 year old gentleman with physical and learning difficulties. A few years ago this pleasant little boy was the subject of endless newspaper articles. What was the reason for this? David had been admitted into St Mary's Hospital Portsmouth with a chest infection. Diamorphine was administered contrary to the wishes of the mother Mrs Carol Glass.
