How the UK managed not to breach NHS capacity.

We made people die at home.

I was ready to make a video about the DNR issue (earlier blog post titled Expendable)

Then Matt Hancock finally said that applying them in a blanket fashion was not allowed.

So I thought I’d leave it for a bit and see what happened.

What’s happened is this Tory government patting itself on the back for not breaching NHS capacity despite having the worst death toll in the world besides the US which is lead by a literal mad man.

Well firstly, that’s hardly the only metric for success. But even if it was legitimate that it was, we need to ask if we achieved that in the right way. So how did we manage it?

We asked people to die at home, making them feel guilty for any NHS time spent on them because of the capacity the Torys devastated.

Why did govt wait so long to say that DNRs shouldn’t be applied in a blanket fashion?

Why was it happening in the first place?

Because of a health service acutely awareness of their diminished capacity.

So still the governments fault even if they had no involvement in issuing these DNR orders on whole groups of people.

A clear breach of human rights.
