The Biggest Issues
von Annie McCartney
Sally Stone, a shock jock who hosts a show entitled 'The Biggest Issues', has made her name by stirring up local grievances; everything from mistreated dogs to the issue of free gastric bands. Sally is well aware that her listeners have a healthy appetite for health matters and a love-hate relationship with the NHS.
When Sally gets a call from a listener complaining that her elderly mother has died of neglect at the local hospital, she immediately begins a campaign of attrition against the accused doctor and the hospital. However, her researcher fails to reveal that the elderly woman had virtually zero chance of surviving an operation due to her health history. Untroubled by the facts, Sally's radio show pursues the story with vigor, leading to dire consequences for those involved.
