The waiting list to see the specialist was three months long. The waiting list to have an operation once he had seen me was about 18 hours long. Colin Bignell That's really quick work to schedule an operating theatre. It was a torn retina, which counts as an emergency. However, a chap waiting for a routine cataract operation had been telephoned to come in a week earlier than scheduled for the same morning session, so they must have had a couple of cancellations.

You don't have to be a physician to tell what inoculations are required: none - unless you are coming from a country in which yellow fewer is endemic. Naturally every tourist should have been vaccinated against polio, tetanus and tuberculosis when travelling in primitive parts of the world (like Morocco). So you are a TB expert using an unusual medium to recommend a tuberculosis vaccine for patients who you have not met? If TB is so dangerous we may all have to avoid places like Morocco. I wonder why there is so much being spent on clinical trials if you have an answer for the problem? I wonder why don't you consult your shrink more frequently. You would benefit more than anyone else by doing so. Markku, you got caught pushing a vaccination which from the US CDC web site is at best an emergency measure given the serious number of transmissions of TB from the most common vaccine. Get used to having to face reality. I say in the lines above: "Naturally every tourist should have been vaccinated against polio, tetanus and tuberculosis when travelling in primitive parts of the world". I take it so that even you have gotten a shot or two as a small child to get a life time immunity against tuberculosis....... |

It is very unclear that such travel justifies the risks associated with the tuberculosis vaccine. If you are stuck living there it may be worth I have not said that vaccination should take place for this particular trip. I said travellers should have been vaccinated. |

The waiting bemoaned on the BBC is for access to specialists, or (particularly) for certain operations such as hip replacements. As David says, seeing a GP (family doctor) is generally not a problem. (And in fact, you don't need to see a doctor for travel inoculations - the practice nurse can do them.) |

"Frank F. Matthews" kirjoitti . .. It is easier to consult my medical history information. I have had many vaccinations in my life but not one for TB. That's funny because in about all countries it has been a standard procedure to vaccine the newly born population against tuberculosis. When I was a child it was called Calmette vaccination. |

"Frank F. Matthews" kirjoitti . .. I understand that. Marku not only does not but he insists he knows ny medical background better than I do. I cannot resist pointing his idiocy out to him each time. In any case it is likely that the situation is current and not historical. I believe you have gotten few shots as a child - apart from morphine, of course. Anyways, immunity, even partial is a very good idea for people travelling in primitive parts of the world where tuberculosis is common. This is what I initially said and as that the comment is reasonable. We have seen these programmes in about all countries in which children have been vaccinated en masse against tuberculosis during the last decades. Not in vain for sure. So, if anyone is going to - say Morocco - it is very advisable that he or she is vaccinated against the disease. |
