Did you watch it? I would like to know if anyone heard the diagnosis of the man who kept vomiting blood? The halifax refused to pay out on his insurance. I really NEED to know. Deanna

Nudging because I really need an answer please.

Deanna, They said as the Criticall Illness cover only covers something that isn't classed as rare which his is, he wont get anything. Basically they aren't worth the paper they're printed on. HTH Naomi x

Deanna I don't think I can help much but I did watch it. I can't remember if they actually said what the diagnosis was for the vomiting blood as I think the man had several problems. All I would say is, if you know someone who is vomiting blood, there can be several reasons. Any of them need a doctor or hospital attention. Chrissie x

I'm afraid nearly all Insurance Policies are like that, if that particular ailment was covered they'd probably try and get out of it by saying its an ACT of GOD! for which they are not responsible Len

Len, Chrissie and, Naomi, Thank you all. My husband saw it and had all the same symptoms as that man before it happened to him( hubby) It was terrifying, believe me.He had a hole in his stomach. What worried him was, that the symptoms the man in the telly had never went and, it happened again. It is worrying me now. Deanna

deanna the man on the prog had lung problems hun. he was heammoraging(spelling) from his llungs i think,not his stomach. please telll hubby to go to the docs. love susie

Susie, thank you. Allan also has problems with his lungs and many other problems, the same as that man. The doctor knows all about it. He was in hospital within 15mins of it happening. Its just that he feels the same things happening...as that man did...and me being me am worried. I thought perhaps if a diagnosis was mentioned on the telly I'd have a bit of, I dont know...power maybe! Sound like an idiot dont I, but it was very frightening?

deanna i can imagine how you must be feeling hun they did mention the name of the illness,but i cant remember it sorry. why not try going to the watchdog website and see if there is any info on there.im sure there will be. susie

I tried this morning Susie but I couldnt find it. I'll perhaps try later again. Thanks, Deanna x

here you go deanna http://www(.)bbc(.)co(.)uk/watchdog/ this is his illness Hypertrophic Cardio-Myopathy i clicked on previous reports and then insurance susie

Deanna, Watchdog is repeated on Thursday at 1.40 in the morning on BBC 1..... maybe you can tape it ?? Andrea :o)

SUSIE, Are you a gem or what? Thank you so much. Deanna X

deanna im glad i could help i know what its like when you are worried. i was worried about my hubby this time last year. if only they realised what they put us through eh? lol susie

I found it Susie but, no advice about last night. Bit daft isnt it? I do indeed know how you must have worried. They say men wont go to the doctors but, on the whole they are not treated as sympathetically as women....unless something really dangerous happens. Hope your hubby is alright now and, thanks for your help. Deanna X

deanna hubby is fine now aslong as he takes his aspirin and cholestral tabs lol its like having a baby back in the house again.if i dont give them to him he dont take them!!!! he had an angiogram on his heart last march and they discovered a large blockage. as they were wiggling the wire thingy around the artery ruptured! there was hubby asking if he could have some breakfast as he was hungry and the drs were dashing about calling the surgeon to come and do a quick repair job. he was bleeding from the main artery in his heart ,so they fitted a stent. daft b***er still wont do as he is told though and still eats choccy and cakes lol susie

Susie, He has funny side effects though from his medication ...... he goes around wearing knickers on his head!! Was nice to meet you all on Saturday. Deanne, Hope you get it sorted soon so you can stop worrying! Jacky x
