At my client co , one of the Bobs had the same problem. Tried his luck at NHS and then decided to get it done with plenty cheapness , bugger came back in 2 weeks. Said he paid around £300. Did you check somewhere in Poland ?

She was hospitalised twice to be put on a drip since I last posted. 4 nights on a mixed ward - it was grim. Without going into detail, I was shocked at the state of some of the patients in there & how they were put on an open ward alongside members of the opposite sex with visitors coming in and out etc.
Maybe hospitals have always been like that, I don't know, but I thought there was supposed to be some concern for the patient's dignity.
Think we'll be upping our level of cover with BUPA
Thanks for asking MS.Comment

Trying to hold a conversation (difficult for me anyway, being a lizard of few words & zero small talk) whilst someone unrelated is busily dying in the next bed is rather difficult.
I thought they were supposed to be doing away with mixed wards.
Grimmest of all is the geriatric ward - gawd help you if you end up on one of them when you still have your marbles.Comment

When my daughter was in recently on an assessment ward, waiting for her appendix to burst, the woman in the next bed had, I assume, something seriously wrong with her bowels. It sounded like she had recurring explosive diarrhoea with vast quantities of wind to boot. Thank goodness that after all my years of smoking I've mostly lost my sense of smell. My poor daughter nearly threw up more than once. At least the curtains were drawn. But dignity? The poor woman had none.
P.S. Glad to hear Mrs. Wurzel is improvingComment

Election promises are seldom carried out. Only if it costs nothing do they do something.
Labour instead decided to borrow billions and line the pockets of their cote voters in the name of tax credits and a plethora of hundred different benefits. That was the easiest way to ensure they were in power for some more time.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment
