DILLIGAF Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yet more great journalism from HT!! http://m.herefordtimes.com/news/14206880.Elderly_man_dies_45_minutes_after__difficult__hospital_operation/ At a time when our great hospital is at breaking point and already in the media for all the wrong reasons. This story has no reflection on anything related to the current media coverage. The NHS did what it could for this gravely ill elderly patient in MAY, why HT felt the need to report it now is beyond me. Many people have tragically lost their lives daily in the hospital, after all they are there for palliative care, some will make it some won't. Are HT going to report on every one? It disgusts me. Report on something significant that concerns us, BILL WIGGIN extra curricular activities, not this tripe. But no you pull that one! Why?

Osmosis Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Absolutely right. There's a collusion between the media and our government to run down the NHS as much as possible, to manipulate attitudes towards it which tend to be overwhelmingly positive. Once you get people thinking the NHS is crap, then it's an easy step to convince people that it would be better run by private companies. Just like our railways, energy, water, buses, care for the elderly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 The Hereford Times has every right to report the story as it was a Public hearing but I too would question the Public Interest in this case. It seems that a very poorly and elderly gentleman has succumbed to an operation that was a 'last throw of the dice' where the outcome was grim at best. No real news here other than to say RIP ... I don't know if this is an example of increased Court reporting from the HT generally recently? There seems to have been an upsurge from where I'm sat reading ...

twowheelsgood Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 HT are reporting the facts of the inquest, sad though they are. It is clear that the NHS did all they could against poor odds. Hardly a story running down the NHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmosis Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's a negative outcome, and a negative story. I agree it's reporting a routine situation (and as such hardly newsworthy I'd have thought), but the truth is we rarely/never hear any of the thousands of success stories to come out of the NHS. It contributes towards the negative perception of the NHS that Jeremy Hunt and his friends in private health care want to foster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Lloyd Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Reporting from an inquest fills the pages of the HT can be done during office hours and involves a trip to the Court room Nothing too challenging and probably considered good training for the reporters. No disrespect to the departed is intended by my comment. Years ago the HT used to report the divorce hearings coming up it would fill half the paper nowadays!

Roger Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Man had 'heated argument' with partner in front of city shoppers A MAN who had a fight with his partner in front of Hereford shoppers has been ordered to pay £195 by magistrates. HT HT have struck again and I see the edit/delete button has been heavily used on this story from the weekend. The story has been edited to remove the nationality of the 'man' and the comments have been removed/closed. From memory the initial comment was giving the author a hard time for mentioning the nationality ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
