No win no fee advice needed

Podshell · #1 31-01-2022, 01:08 PM

I am in the UK and have been struggling with a few health conditions for some years now, but am unable to get the needed tests through the doctor and cannot afford them, one idea is to try and get them through the No win no fee merchants, so am not too bothered about the compensation if any, just seems a good idea to get fast tracked for much needed tests - any thoughts fellow posters.

(Not sure if it is the same in other countries but here in the UK it is like being a criminal who has to prove yourself if you are ill, as if you are getting extra money off the taxpayers, while at the same time the GPs are funelling loads of cash to the drug companies- crazy)

Hi I hadn't heard about no win no fee doing medical tests. they are used for medical Negligence.
A lot of people are waiting on tests.I myself am waiting for another op.
but because of covid everything has been delayed.
The only way you can get seen sooner is by getting medical insurance or paying for it.

Namaste

I'm sorry you're having such problems.....
I'm U.S based but have many friends in the UK and all I ever hear from them (especially the older ones) is how sorry the nationalized healthcare system is. ....how long the wait times can be particularly for advanced tests and how you often have to fight to get properly cared for.

There are folks in the U.S that are doing there best to take what is the worlds greatest* Deleted*.
NO THANK YOU!
I hope you can find ways to get yourself properly cared for.......Best of luck to you!
