Dear LORD....please help the UK. My heart goes out to these people. Been there...and got the damned trophy. FIL SUFFERED AND DIED, needlessly, because of this system....let alone the problems I and my child had.

didn’t the NHS fire a nurse for complaining about conditions at a hospital?

While this is terrible, I’m confused as to why her husband wasn’t more proactive. Why wasn’t he there when she was put into a cab and sent to the wrong address?

"In 2006, her feeding tube became blocked and an ambulance was called to the care home where she lived."

"Her husband complained about a delay in the ambulance arriving and taking her to hospital. He also complained that no arrangements were made to take his wife home after attending A&E, meaning in total she had spent 20 hours without fluids."

This happened in 2006 and the Scotsman.com is just now reporting this on 4/23/09? I would say not only is their health care deplorable, their reporting of news isn't the greatest either.

Oh, this is the kind of health care we want. NOT

But...but...national health care is a panacea!! Everyone will live happily ever after!! It's the answer to all the woes in the world, after THE ONE!!!! /liberal off
