hey...when you put affirmative action (federally educated doctors) and the federally employed overseers on the same team, this is the result...

Sick Iraq war veteran dies after being given smoker's cancerous lungs in transplant
Daily Mail, by Katie Davies

An Iraq war veteran died after a hospital transplant gave him a pair of cancerous lungs donated by a smoker.

Matthew Millington, 31, a corporal in the Queen's Royal Lancers, had the operation to save him from an incurable lung condition.

But the donated organs - from someone who smoked 30 to 50 roll-up cigarettes a day - gave him cancer.

Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, which carried out the transplant, said early X-rays on the organs did not find any sign of cancer.

In fact it had been missed. The tumour was discovered only after six months. Drugs to ensure Mr Millington's body accepted the new organs actually sped up its spread.

The soldier from Stoke-on-Trent was given radiotherapy but finally died at home in February last year.

Daughter saves mother, 80, left by doctors to starve
Times, by Sarah-Kate Templeton
AN 80-year-old grandmother who doctors identified as terminally ill and left to starve to death has recovered after her outraged daughter intervened.

Hazel Fenton, from East Sussex, is alive nine months after medics ruled she had only days to live, withdrew her antibiotics and denied her artificial feeding. The former school matron had been placed on a controversial care plan intended to ease the last days of dying patients.

Doctors say Fenton is an example of patients who have been condemned to death on the Liverpool care pathway plan. They argue that while it is suitable for patients who do have only days to live, it is being used more widely in the NHS, denying treatment to elderly patients who are not dying.

Fentonâ€™s daughter, Christine Ball, who had been looking after her mother before she was admitted to the Conquest hospital in Hastings, East Sussex, on January 11, says she had to fight hospital staff for weeks before her mother was taken off the plan and given artificial feeding.

Ball, 42, from Robertsbridge, East Sussex, said: â€œMy mother was going to be left to starve and dehydrate to death. It really is a subterfuge for legalised euthanasia of the elderly on the NHS.
