Fascicle you really need more attention to detail.
I recently got gegot a letter from the NHS containing two spelling mistakes, one of which changed the meaning of what I think they were trying to say. I knew what they meant, but it made me nervous about a forthcoming procedure, in that I got the impression their competency might be low, or they might be slapdash and careless.
This does not "speculate about a letter a surgeon may [or may not] have written. It comments on a letter received from an NHS Trust. Not a surgeon or doctor.
This point by me: I would expect a doctor or surgeon to have a good general education including good literary skills as well as in medicine
was in response to another post by a different poster talking about whether the lack of spelling in surgeons and doctors generically would concern me.
As you well know. I am sure that you are capable of distinguishing between one post and a different post, so the question arises, what agenda do you have to try and make it seem as if someone has written something that they have not done, in order to make a very specific point?
So why bother speculating about the doctor's 'literary skills' (that's not the same as literacy skills, by the way), following a letter regarding your procedure, if you now think the letter was a 'generic admin response'?
I repeat. Nowhere have I speculated about a doctor or surgeon's personal literacy or literary skills. I am fully aware that they do not generally write letters themselves. I am sure you are capable of distinguishing between two different posts, as it has obviously taken you quite a lot of time to trawl through my individual posts and cut and paste them in a way which is misleading in that it suggests they comment successively on a specific subject which I never commented on in the first place.
I didn't suggest that you weren't capable. But if you're implying that an imperfect letter might be correlated to a slapdash procedure, that would indicate that you haven't yet done the research that matters - the success of the procedure in relation to the hospital and surgeon. If you had, your concerns about letter writing would become less relevant
Am I indeed? I don't agree that it would, whether that is or is not the case. However, I could imagine it being led as a small piece of evidence in a medical negligence case, other circumstances being compelling, so I have to say that you are wrong in what you say. Why it should have any bearing on your imagined lack of research on a person's medical treatment, I have no idea. Your reasoning is flawed because it is so far removed from the point you are trying to make. I really do think that it implies more that you have some kind of agenda, and that you are not being entirely honest. That is a suspicion on my part, and one which may be wrong, but its such an odd way to respond that I think it reasonable to form that question.
