Whilst sitting on the sofa in agony last night (I’ll explain later) I watched Holby City with Mrs Sane.
Part of the plot was an … unconventional … doctor who decided to help out a patient who had sold her kidney on the black market to pay for AIDS medication for her brother in Ghana. Twice during the programme he got into a heated discussion with a pharmacist and another doctor about why their returned drugs were destroyed instead of given away to Africa. “Go on say it” I screamed to myself. “Tell the viewers why perfectly good drugs are thrown away instead of being donated to needy people”.
“It’s illegal” shouted one of the doctors. No, the moment has gone and the BBC has missed yet
another opportunity to expose the European Federation and the stupid laws that it is flooding our statute books with. The NHS used to send returned drugs to Africa but the European Federation banned it.
