If you must know I've been looking after my dear wife, who had her hand done today. She went in at 7.00 a.m. this morning and was back out at 4.00.p.m. this afternoon. They don't hang about these days.

She will be glad to be back at home. Its good that so many operations are just in and out things nowadays. It allows you to relax at home, quite apart from not catching MRSA or whatever. I hope she is feeling better Phil

Pauline has been in and out of hospitals all over Birmingham for the last 30 years so we have a good experience of them all, and I have to say that in recent years most of them have sadly declined. Having said that Solihull Hospital is far the best NHS hospital in this region and they have been trying their best to close it down for years. The last time Pauline was in Heartlands I argued with the staff every day about her treatment, not her medical treatment but the way she was looked after. The food they gave her (when they bothered art all) was disgusting and nursing care was practically zero. In the end we took all her meals in, and insisted she was discharged 3 days before they wanted to let her out.
Phil seeing your wife in that situation is obviously distressing. The standards in our hospitals etc were bound to drop once league tables and targets were introduced. it would be useful if our political masters could spend a week in hospital to make observations of how bad things are, trouble is they would all just go private. (Then put it on expenses) they would only lie about the cost of that too.
