Victorian diseases - Two pre-modern ailments are making a comeback

Posted by Matt in January 6th, 2008

AS BEFITS an industrialised country, Britain’s public-health problems are those of wealth rather than poverty. But beneath headlines about fat, cigarettes and a national epidemic of drunkenness, two diseases that were believed vanquished decades ago are re-emerging. Both are linked to immigration.

ME/CFS - Doctors disbelief kills young woman
'Doctors' in the UK - ordered chronically sick ME CFS CFIDS patient Sophia Mirza to be removed from her home by force (breaking her front door down) and locked her in a mental asylum to 'treat her'. Days after returning home - she died. Those in power refused an autopsy and her death would thus have been covered up - had it not been for the intervention of her devoted and loving mother and a helpful MS (Multiple Sclerosis) specialist. No apology was given, no action was taken by the authorities towards those who did this to her. Her mother and family is left destroyed. The British Medical Association (BMA) who have the power to strike doctors off their lists for inhumane/damaging behaviour - did nothing. These 'Doctors'(by innapropriate medical intervention) effectively killed this...

Cell Block K-9 (World Premiere!)
Welcome to the UK! Please enjoy yourselves while you're here, but leave your loved ones at the gate. My two ferocious 15-year-old toy poodles will be in quarantine for 6 months due to UK authorities being vigilant in their fight against the deadly disease known as rabies. The disease was eradicated from Great Britain in 1922- but you never can be too careful!! Since the year 2000, over 370,000 pets have entered Britain without being quarantined without one incident of rabies. My poodles are a grave threat to public health. NOT! Cell Block K9 will be a series of films mockumenting Mattie and Mickie's sojourn in dog prison. Music: ccmixter.org Deep Down in My Heart by fourstones

BPO Call Centres create WEALTH - erode HEALTH Dr Anand UK
Young literate teenagers join the Indian Call Centres for a quick buck and they get it. What do they lose? and why? British callers may be infuriated when they discover that the company they are telephoning has moved its customer service centre to India. But their frustration is as nothing compared with the heart attacks, ulcers and insomnia afflicting those on the other end of the line. Workers at a customer service call centre in India Staff in call centres say they have been shocked at the ferocity of the verbal attacks they encounter Research carried out by India's booming call centre industry has found the 1.6 million people who work in them, mostly in their twenties, are plagued by ailments arising from the stress of dealing with irate customers.

BSE - UK
July 2005 The cost of the crisis over BSE, and its links to the human variant CJD were obvious to all in terms of cattle and livelihood. However, the question of the role that cost had to play before the crisis erupted is one that is much more contentious. Ron McCullagh illustrates both the devastating impact of the crisis, and the debates that still rage over the nature and treatment of the disease.
