Unhealthy Associations

In yet another regrettable instance of unelected officialdom's indifference to hard choices and economic growth, a Surrey coroner has expressed concern over the use of unqualified and inexperienced personnel in the NHS even though such personnel tend to come cheaper. "Physician associates", whom the Government intends as a sustainable substitute for doctors until AI can take over medicating the expendables, receive limited training and are expected to get by on clean British pluck and gumption as opposed to all that nasty non-profitable expertise. In this case a woman was misdiagnosed with a nosebleed and subsequently died of complications from a hernia; her relatives accepted the misdiagnosis because they were under the impression that it originated with someone merely qualified to diagnose. However, since importing experienced immigrants is a self-evident moral impossibility and inadequate training costs less than the other sort, a degree of attrition among the social class whose lifestyle choices don't include private healthcare is clearly a price worth paying.
