hi geo.
i never take anything you say the wrong way,i always know exactly were your coming from. your a really nice man and a friend.
i can write many stories of people who have died at my local hospital over the years from medical blunders.
my own,i have a disabled left arm from an accident i had aged 10.
they said it was not broken and i suffered for 6yrs,then aged 16 they looked at the origional xrays and said sorry it was

they said i would loose the use of my arm but i still have some use in it,its horribly difformed though.
aged 23 i was dx with early cervical cancer after 8months insisting something was wrong.
the doctor thought it was nothing,irritable bowel or hormones.........she was in a worse state than me when the results came back and she realised her mistake.
they like us are only human,yes they should take some responsibility when there mistakes cause mental or physical injury.............but sadly they do get away with it.
chin up buddy,we all love you
