Might have got a few more months/years out of my dad if they'd actually taken him seriously instead of fobbing him off for two weeks before discovering his pancreatic cancer at an ultrasound to prove it was actually kidney stones causing his textbook pancreatic cancer symptoms.

Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That sucks. I'm sorry for your loss.
Populism is the opium of the fuckwits
Brexit was dumb.
That said this sounds like an overstatement.
We average between 550k to 600k deaths a year. So 1.5k is well under 0.3%.
Add the fact it is almost impossible to put such deaths down to 1 cause. They were after allin NHS care.
And it very much sounds like the usual press over enthusiastic support for a small comment in the data. Not something clearly identified by the study authors.
