Health Treatment Concerns

Patient's rights to their medical records. A fiction in reality? Patients have rights? For evil to prevail – it is sufficient only – that good men/women do nothing?

Help all of us towards a death with dignity

In reality, is this what we should expect to be too common a practice?

Elderly patients were left in "drug-induced comas"
after being overprescribed painkillers and sedatives,
a disciplinary panel heard today.

    Richard Glossip: Oklahoma: Major (Welcome) Development: The Oklahoman (Staff Writer Nolan Clay) reports that he was released from jail earlier today on a $500,000 bond - a major victory for the former death row inmate who has come so close to execution that he has had three last meals, noting that: "Glossip has always maintained he is innocent of murder in the 1997 beating death of his boss at an Oklahoma City motel. His lead attorney, Don Knight, said Glossip "now has the chance to taste freedom while his defense team continues to pursue justice on his behalf." The attorney said the judge, in setting bail, "rejected the State’s claim that there is a strong case for guilt."

    JUDICIAL REGISTER: Eleven years ago - Holyrood debated & supported a motion calling for Scottish judges to register all their interests. In 2021 - after a near DECADE of opposition, delay & a campaign of hostility, threats to shut journalists out of our courts & hostile briefings from Scotland’s legal establishment - the Scottish Government committed to create a Judicial Interests Register. In October 2025, this judicial register is yet to be created.
