She is unfortunate to be in a hospital that is having such problems. Not all hospitals are like this. Written complaints are always taken seriously and have to be recorded so it always worth doing so. It will hopefully improve things for future patients too.

Canadian health care is great for emergency medicine, but there are long waits for everything else.

And there was I thinking you were so lucky to still have the NHS. Is there anything to be done? I just hope this government is ousted and a more caring party gets the vote next time. I agree with Mel here. There's always plenty of money to fund the army and military in countries where we have no business. That should be the first to be stopped!Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-54429267075724876032014-12-05T14:22:33.547+00:002014-12-05T14:22:33.547+00:00I feel so sad reading this post, but really don... I feel so sad reading this post, but really don't have words to express an intelligent opinion. Not experiencing your countries medical care. I do think that every country should put medical care for its citizens at a priority and that it doesn't sound like your daughter-in-law is getting the care her deserves. In the US insurance is one of the highest bills we pay and you have to have it if you want care. I've paid in for so many years and I'm one of those people that goes to the doctor once every two or three years, so the insurance companies are making money on me. There are definitely ways that governments could change the way they disperse tax moneys.

This should be a special time for her, awaiting the arrival of her baby, it's bad enough that she's ill but having to endure such terrible treatment is awful. I hope she's better soon so that she can get home and finish off the preparations for the new arrival.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-38848155995284425002014-12-05T06:12:23.113+00:002014-12-05T06:12:23.113+00:00Mel - absolutely right about the weapons and war m...Mel - absolutely right about the weapons and war making efforts. I think every politician I wants to be a 'Churchill type prime minister presiding over Britain at war'. Their self importance wants their name in the history books. Bugger what the people actually need!<br /><br />Chickpea - so right, perhaps they could start repairing the roads that we actually have first xxx<br /><br />Jenny - thank you and I am sorry that your health service is suffering like ours. But then again the politicians can afford private health care so it's not top of their priorities despite what they say xxx<br /><br />DC - I agree that it has been going downhill for years, but I do think there has been an acceleration in the past few years. Disgraceful with the wages, the politicians ought yo be ashamed of themselves xxx<br /><br />Jane - thank you, hospital seems to be no place to be ill. Once we can get her home, take care of her in comfort with good food I am sure she will recover quickly xxx<br /><br />Jan - done properly the NHS is wonderful but there are too many managers and admin staff rather than clinical staff and of course when there are funding cuts they don't cut their own jobs. All we want is to get a decent service, personally I think the NHS should be taken out of the politicians hands and given over to medical people who actually know what they are doing xxxFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-34189160021478772282014-12-04T19:07:55.739+00:002014-12-04T19:07:55.739+00:00That's terrible!

This is not the fault of the staff as they do the best they can. However recently two members of my family have experienced something very similiar to your daughter Inlaw.
