British patient from Orihuela, Alicante, has denounced serious errors in the public health service, and the British community has created an association to defend themselves against what they see as negligence. The group is informing the British Ambassador.

La Gaceta newspaper reports on the case of Dale Barton who says that he awoke feeling ill and friends had to take him to Torrevieja Hospital as they did not want to send an ambulance. Once there he tells how he was sick and could not speak properly, swallowing his tongue. The doctor in the Emergency Department told him to go home, saying he was drunk. That night Dale Barton suffered a heart attack, and is now in a wheel chair and suffering epilepsy.
The newspaper notes that the doctor who attended to him is Polish and named Piotr Chochowshi.

Other cases are listed by La Gaceta. William Jordan Carr suffered an internal haemorrhage after taking the medicine prescribed by the Cabo Roig health centre. He had been attended to by a Peruvian doctor, Carolina Vanessa Calle Tello, who the paper says was practicing without the correct qualifications.
