A friend of mine was in Manchester Royal Infirmary his brother said if I want to visit him watch out as the place was filthy. the food (and I use that term in the loosest sense) was inedible and the staff couldn't speak English. I thought nah no way the place has had millions spent on it but when I got there the place was disgusting, stank to high heaven the food well the smell was bad enough and the staff couldn't speak English. I asked my mate if he fancied a pint at the pub across the road? I found a wheelchair and off we went no fucker asked me where we were going so in case of fire ( and what a good idea that would be)they wouldn't know where he was. As luck would have it he got out of that dump alive. Now fasr forward to a developing country Thailand, Chiang Mai to be precise. A while ago I was suffering from a bad back went to the hospital pills were no good so Friday afternoon saw a surgeon said I should have a CAT scan when? Saturday morning had the scan needed the femoral artery sorting out when? Monday went in private room bed for the better half couldn't move for cleaning staff, operation Tuesday monitored every 2 hours home on Friday surgeon phoned to see if I were OK, £3,000 but it beats being dead. Now all that money spent on hospitals in the UK get this "centres of excellence" would have been better spent on sending people here for treatment as there is plenty of health tourism here and every possibilty you come of hospital better than when you went inAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-55546784433526230222010-02-25T21:25:33.289+00:002010-02-25T21:25:33.289+00:00thanks Stanthanks StanOld Holbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164491045068093627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-10464642177895781342010-02-25T19:59:03.269+00:002010-02-25T19:59:03.269+00:00Thank you Mr Ishmael.

Did I not get taught at school that Florence Nightingale worked out all that clean the fucking hospital shit some time ago now? I am sure I remember that, don't I? Just clean the fucking hospitals, you bastards. How hard can it be?<br /><br />Mr Mother-in-law is ancient and ailing, and had a funny turn while visiting my brother. He drove her to hospital and they sorted her out. She never stops talking about how wonderful it was, how clean it all was, how helpful they all were. The hospital was, of course, in fucking Thailand. And, no, not some special expat palace; just the local hospital.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-65144373857611579672010-02-25T14:55:48.581+00:002010-02-25T14:55:48.581+00:00Brilliant piece Ishmael....

It`s easy to become desenitised to the horrors visited on us by these smug useless fuckers inuagurating the reign of Ruin on Earth.<br /><br />Like this morning, saw someone on the news saying 700 small and medium sized firms going squit each week; the firms that employ people and pay taxes while RBS, 84% owned by us and three and a half billion in debt is paying out a billion in bonuses. As our host would say, Jesus fucking wept.<br /><br />Great post Mr Ish. One of Ruin`s properties seems to be it drugs one into regarding it as the norm.yardarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700165830593026578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-37023048107836706172010-02-25T13:56:44.140+00:002010-02-25T13:56:44.140+00:00Uncle - knee problem think had suffered or some ot...Uncle - knee problem think had suffered or some other routine thing, plaster? Yup, that'll do. Was told need to hang round see consultant - not sure when, but hang on, round in a bit phoned up GP chum 'get fuck out of hospital now you stupid fucker, every second life in peril, run - ah, not possible, hop man, hop the fuck out of hospital, phone consultant after seeing me if needed, get the fuck out man'.<br /><br /> Sound advice.<br /><br /> As per Nips and generation abused beyond all fucking venality and evil had guy recounting tales of 'how the fuck I survived no fucking idea' on BBC Toady this morning. Wife died few years back, never said a fucking word to her - forgotten war he called it. Churchill called Singapore 'worse capitulation in fucking British history' so stigmatized tortured fuckers as cowards - no medals they, no fucking heroes welcome, shut the fuck up you.<br /><br /> Cheers Mr Ish. Have become so desensitized to fury in Ruin that sometimes forget stats not stats but chaps and chapesses, mums & dads, kids and grannies - sometimes forget to see.
