Paul, have you been watching Operation Live on Channel 5 this week? Once I got my head to stop swimming I was spellbound. I hadn't realised it would actually be a live operation - the clue is in the title, I suppose, not sure what I did think it would be - and I have no idea how they got the hospital to co-operate; Tuesday they did a father-to-son kidney donation and transplant, Wednesday a scoliosis correction, last night a cerebral aneurysm.

In any case: next time you think the NHS is rubbish, or for anyone thinking that surgeons are full of it and need taking down a peg or two, it's worth a watch. Warning - contains graphic images of surgery!

You should certainly have a peep at the scoliosis one. You'd get a really good idea of what they were poking around at when they did your back.

Ha Ha no never said that.

As you know my own wife is a nurse in the NHS. The staff suffer more than the patients at the complete incompetence that is displayed by admin staff within the NHS. I could tell you some stories....

The medical staff within the NHS are mostly excellent. I would argue it still can't cope though.

You better believe it! As soon as my fiancé and I told his mother (my boss unfortunately as I am the chosen caregiver) we’re getting married, two and a half months before the wedding, she had a nervous breakdown. Didn’t sleep for two and a half weeks, had to be run to the ER FOUR TIMES in a week and a half. Refusing to come now because I won’t spend the morning of MY wedding getting HER ready. I begged her to do something with me to celebrate and she refused. I offered to buy her a dress and she refused. She tends to want to dress really inappropriately in very revealing clothing so no loss (I am a proud frumpy prude lolol). I’m going to enjoy my actual weekend off with my soon to be husband!
