Daily Stormer

There are now so many freeloading foreigners using up the medical resources of the NHS that long-time native patients who have been with the same doctor all their lives, are now finding themselves struck off.
From the Daily Mail:
Thousands of patients are being arbitrarily struck off by GPs who say they can no longer cope with spiralling numbers.
Doctors warned last night that a recruitment crisis has left surgeries with too few staff.
This means they are being forced to ‘deregister’ patients – many of whom are elderly and have been with the same practice all their lives.
Yesterday the Daily Mail highlighted the case of 95-year-old Lily Dove, one of 1,500 patients randomly struck off by a surgery in Watton, Norfolk, which is under pressure from rising immigration and retirees.
The widow, who has lived in the area since 1919 and remembers when the doctor would visit her family in a horse and trap, has a number of health problems.
But senior GPs say her case is far from isolated and illustrates a national problem. They say other practices in England have been forced to deregister up to 100 patients at a time.
Doctors’ leaders argue that they have no choice but to remove patients because the lack of GPs means they cannot provide care that is safe and of high quality.
But relatives and patients fear vulnerable patients are being deliberately removed from lists because they take up the most time and require such dedicated care.
Other patients furious to have been kicked off their doctor’s books yesterday included an 80-year-old widow, a double amputee and a mother of 11 children.
In another example, a practice deregistered a nursing home of 59 residents, many of whom have Alzheimer’s, because of a ‘big change in workload’.
GPs say the profession is facing a recruitment crisis as their colleagues opt for early retirement or a move abroad. They are not being replaced by younger staff, who are often opting for hospital-based careers.
