NHS Blog Doctor: A Tale of Two Cancers

I read this two months ago, and didn’t blog about it, but I find I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind.

It’s a blog post by a doctor in Britain. He sees two patients with similar cancers on the same morning. One patient has private health insurance. The other relies on Britain’s National Health Service.

The doctor’s own words tell the tale best.

After you read it, I bet the story will stick with you, too.
