Our doctor told my daughter to walk straight past the reception when she left as he does not agree with charging patients for these items...

Yes, of course there are genuine innocent victims. Maybe 1% ?

This whole compensation industry is nothing more than a racket run by cowboys and crooks... leeching resources that SHOULD be available to GENUINE claimants. Time it was stopped.
