[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 27636, member: 11875"] Yes we have a cottage hospital but they hardly do anything there - and last time she was ill it was closed "temporarily" for six months (a lot of us thought it would not reopen but actually it did, where we used to live they closed down all the little hospitals and sold them off for Executive Housing, closed down the big mental hospitals ditto (chucked the occupants out on the street) and built a new hospital on a greenfield site. As we were leaving they were talking about closing down the new hosptial and another one in a neighbouring town and replacing them with an even bigger one built on the green belt, thus releasing even more land to build Executive Houses probably for all the hospital managers and accountants) sorry am I ranting? Yes the big hospital is actually bigger than this town, and of course the fact it's full of ill people doesn't help any with infection control. Gosh do you possibly think there could be a connection here? The other big hospital was an order of magnitude better, they have a fast turnaround unit where she was before BUT you still have to weigh the odds of the infection she has now vs. the infection(s) she's likely to pick up as a patient. This is obviously happening all over the country. Personally I would also be extremely unwilling to go inpatient unless I was severely ill, if the hospital borne infections didn't do me in the food surely would. [/QUOTE]
