Subject: RE: BS: Compensation culture
A different take on this thread....

In 2002 I had to go into hospital for a small operation.
I was expected to spend two days in hospital then return to work in one month max.
While in hospital, which was filthy, I contracted MRSA, which meant a stay of two months, in which time my condition did not improve, then convalesance at home for nine months before return to work.

My treatment involved massive doses of antibiotics, and I still dont feel 100%.
I now have the option of sueing the National Heath Service for loss of earnings ect,a course which I am reluctant to take.

On the other hand I feel that if I dont take some action, Hospital conditions will continue to deteriorate...Any ideas...Ake
