Nope Maybe its me but I can't help think we live in an age of madness

where real serious H&S issues like being able to walk home at night

without feeling nervous or actually involved in a crime, or going to

hospital and coming back out better then you went in.


Good for you Will.
When my mother was rushed to Lewisham Hospital with septicaemia about 6 years ago she was so sick she didn't have a clue where she was two African nurses came to her bed and grunted tried to manhandle her upwards when she clearly couldn't stand let alone understand her situation. As they manhandled her upwards to a standing position her hospital gown was undone exposing her . I told my mother and them to let her sit back down whilst I searched for a wheel chair. As I went to get this wheelchair an elderly very confused man called to me for water when I went to speak to him those same two wonderful angels shouted at me telling me not to speak to him. Of course I told them what to do.
Another personal experience for you: an old lady we befriended years ago was taken to Farnborough Hospital when the old wooden shed wards were there for a urinary tract infection-always a cause for great confusion with the elderly. Anyhow when I called the ward and went through the preposterous confidentiality ****e I finally asked whether I should bring this persons clothing down with me when I came to visit. I was then given a speech saying of course bring them we encourage people here to be up, about and dressed in their own clothing, how could you (me) think otherwise. Well I went to visit her and there she was laying in bed soaked in urine.

I could go on Will and I will, how about this one

A young lad with a brain tumour getting a hip replacement in the Tooting Bec Hospital St Georges is so neglected despite his mothers constant pleas to the ignorant staff at the nurses station dies with dehydration . The poor lad was so desperate he struggled and called the police on his mobile. When they arrived the wonderful attentive staff were told he was an awkward patient. so they put him in a side room where he died of dehydration the very next day.
Or how about this one http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...-hospital.html.

You seem to be suggesting Will that because you had good treatment everything is okay and my personal experiences are fictitious or valueless, so what do you make of all the rest, the tens of thousands of MRSA deaths, the neglect, the treatment of the elderly. Don't you think the NHS should deal with these things before spouting tripe with UKMO over COPCD.

By the way Will how did you cut your head?




=================================



Lawrence last Sunday I was in Exeter A&E with a 2 inch cut down to the bone

on my forehead and a 1 inch deep cut on my cheek. I was looked after

beautifully. Continually informed what was to happen and why and I was

stitched up by an experienced facial surgeon. Now I am much better, not

feeling terribly great, but far better than if I never had the treatment.

The paramedics and all nursing and other staff were great!

But that's just my experience.



Will
