How to be an ungrateful bastard

Christ! I thought that the lecturer who was/is suing BA for that Heathrow crash landing was a ****, but this man takes the biscuit.

I would have bought the hospital staff some presents and apologised for wasting their time.

The tragedy of this case.....(and others like it), is that we will all suffer. Not financially, but when we want pain-killing drugs etc etc, the medical profession will prescribe insufficient amounts............just "in case" they get sued.

Great............more pain for everyone.

Not really. Will just mean that people will prescribe / administer proper doses and be a bit more careful about checks

That just won't work.

I bloody well hope not!

I had to sign a credit card slip at a hospital in New York so that each time they jabbed me with something they added it to the credit card slip... After I was cured (magically I got up and walked out with a half dislocated shoulder for fear of a $3k credit card bill) they gave me the slip back and in reading the small print basically they absolved themselves by way of a disclaimer (which it was proven is illegal in their context) and stated that any issued drugs couldn't be returned for credit! :lol: Shame if the drugs were IN me!

Anyone who makes a complaint about the NHS should be sent a dvd of Michael Moores Sicko and a polite f*** Off:lol:

I know - a friend was complaining about the NHS home visit midwifery to me yesterday (she didn't like that the midwife turned up at 10am and she was in her jammies), I had to tell her quite quickly that this is one of the only countries of the WORLD that does home visits after births....

I work in a state of the art modern hospital. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but the care is excellent and the miserable buggers still moan.

I get the impression from my time in the NHS that some people think they're in a hotel. Mind you, I would bet a hospital is a damn sight cleaner than their homes for a start.

Think the answer is to get patients to sign a disclaimer form in a&e

most of the patients I saw in Brighton A&E were so pissed or drugged up they could'nt hold a pen to sign anything.

I hear so much complaining about the NHS here in Wales .....where they don't know they are living since we have been here
I was admitted within hours with a cut hand (I am diabetic and the GP was worried because of infection)
my wife got an appointment within days after a smear that her Doctor did not like the look of (it was really OK)
after an emergency the Ambulance came within minutes my wife was discharged to go back and have an OP which she had less than a month later.

now would we have got the same treatment in Brighton, sad to say (and I love the city) I doubt it very much

and they still continue to moan about the Welsh NHS

Dont blame the person blame the laws that allow this sort of thing to happen.

Rubbish. If that had been me I wouldn't have sued them i'd have either been thankfull they'd saved my life or pissed of at failing so would make sure I did it properly next time.

Don't get me wrong, the law is bollocks but just because you can sue doesn't mean you should. As BoF says, he should be going back saying his thank you's and apologising for wasting their time. What a crock of shit
