Re: Cause of the Korean War ?
Franek,
To take an isolated example does not prove anything about the general running of the NHS in Britain. Superbugs exist, that's a fact of life. People die from infections in hospital - that's a fact of life, and it's sad.
My own experience of the NHS? Heart attack on 8th August 2001. Didn't even know it. Drove to the doctor's surgery and walked in. Hospitalised for a week. Very well looked after. A triple heart bypass in Papworth on 23rd March 2002. I developed pneumonia a day or so later, but pulled through - lucky me. Staff at Papworth were magnificient. Sorry for the bleeding heart stuff, but this is the simple truth.
As sure as there's a hole in our arse we're all gonna die someday. And when that day comes, there's shit-all we can do about it. Until then, live life to the full.
A friend of mine, who I'd known from the age of 6 or 7, and was the bass player in the first band I was in, died 4 years ago in his early 50s; in 1999 the guitarist in one of the groups I was in died of meningitis in his mid-40s - shit happens, Man, get over it.
But don't come on here and run down the NHS system when (I believe) you have no experience of it whatsoever. Oh yes, my two grandchildren were born in the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital - no problems there.
Apologies to the Mods for posting totally off-topic, but I felt that an experiential answer was required in response to Franek's broad brush assertions about the NHS system in the UK.
