Sending an angry letter

[Madameloco]

Would it be illegal to send a letter to a doctor who didn't follow guidelines and tell them on an emotional level how they have ruined your life by missing your cancer! As a young person my life has been turned around and due to her very obvious incompetence treatment etc has been delayed by four years!!!!!! She has now retired from the nhs and probably living the life of larry meanwhile I'm in constant agony going through treatment and feel very angry towards her.

Not illegal, but might be foolish if you intend taking action for clinical negligence

I agree with Des8 i think the best way forward would be to look at whether you have a clinngeg claim

Under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 a person must not pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment of another, and which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other. Under section 2 of the act to do so would be an offence.

As suggested by others you may want to hold off and consider your claim, you will be able to include much of what you want to say into any eventual witness statement.
