Dangers of a Computerised NHS. 27 April 2007
Christopher Houlden, Clinical Fellow. General Surgery. Frenchay Hospital, Bristol. BS16 1LE., Hemant Sharma, Send response to journal: Re: Dangers of a Computerised NHS.	You spent billions on poor plans To tell us it did not work, And minister stands in a conference To announce it with a smirk. The hospitals risk confidential data On an extremely unsafe platform Juniors suffer in depression With the stupid MTAS scam. Today my patient is in agony I suspect pancreatitis or perforation And cannot look up blood results and x-rays IT plans are Not For Resuscitation. Competing interests: None declared
