oh dear should i not be worried?...
yes there is a different approach becuase in the phils the patient does what the doc says, while in the UK how you deal and speak to the patient is more important

bad news sells papers, how many stories do you read a day about doctors who failed to diagnose ? there are about 170,000 doctors in the uk, if each doctor up once a year that would be nearly 500 news paper stories aday..

swine flu, i think most people who die from swine flu are already ill.

no you shouldnt be that worried, stop reading the news papers
