The fundamental problem and what you are all eluding to is that the NHS doesn’t have a Research & development department so it is at the mercy of private companies that are all chasing profits. The worst being the drug companies that offer new drugs as new technology to prolong life on their drugs without site of a cure. If the electronics industry had the lack of progress that medicine has had over the last one hundred years we would still be using sparks to transmit radio signals and never have invented the valve let alone digital technology. Medicine is a closed shop with no mechanism for making progress and hence no mechanism for dealing with new technology. I posted a bit about Electrotherapy in the medical networking area here

that speaks volumes from the silence it received.
If you look at the history one can see medical progress has come from engineers whether it be mechanical engineers for the joints, heart valves or externals machines to assist the body, electrical engineers for the radio therapy and scanners or chemical engineers for drugs. We all know what happens to species that don’t make progress, they go extinct. It has to be down to government to create an R & D sections that goes in pursuit of cures not profits. Profit has no place in medicine since it ultimately puts the pursuit of money above the health of people. I know from my own investigations that any pathogen can be killed using Electrotherapy that includes the cure of cancers, HIV and Malaria. What could that do for the NHS budget in terms of emptying beds and eliminating the drugs bill for long term treatments?
