Please correct me on this sentence.
Hey, i want to use a sentence and i am not sure how to say it using UK English or native English without mistakes. please correct me.
1.doctors warn: patients may miss the chance to cure because of rising nhs waiting lists for tests and treatment.
2.doctors warn: patients could become more serious because of rising nhs waiting lists for tests and treatment.
3.Doctors warn: Patients could die because of rising NHS waiting lists for tests and treatment (this sentence is right, however, it is not polite if someone noticed
in a website, right? )
So, how do we express such kind of meaning using native English? Please write ur thoughts here if u have a better idea on how to say this sentence.
Thanks very much.

eg Doctors warn that patients may become more seriously ill, or even die, because of growing NHS waiting lists for tests and treatment. Some comments - A sentence must start with a capital letter. Please do not use texting slang like u or ur on this Forum.

Thanks for your reply!
The reason why i feel the #3 is not polite because we talk about death to the readers.I want to use the #3 on my site and and want readers notice the importance of avoiding NHS waiting lists. Don't want to them feel uncomfortable. From what your said here, that will be ok if we talk about them in my site,thanks.

Yes, what I typed is correct.
In English culture, it's OK to speak of death in a general way.
Some people avoid words like death/die in their personal lives.
Instead they say
eg I'm very sorry about your mother's passing,
eg My mother passed away last week.
Other people say
eg I'm very sorry about your mother's death.
eg My mother died last week.

In fact,I want to let the readers know the importance of medical insurance and let them get rid of NHS waiting lists as soon as possible.
