Weirdly enough as the senior doc in charge of A&E at the time I had to be in the loop. We had to keep a ruptured appendix in ED whilst waiting for ok that the polo match was finished and was fine before they could go to theatre. We also had to keep a resus bay free, just in case. Fortunately that particular Saturday morning we weren't that rammed so it was a pain rather then impacting clinical care.
That's disgusting quite frankly.

Bet the Daily Mail would pay a pretty penny for some stories like that.
You don’t think that a member of the Royal Family would wait in reception like us plebs?
If they had any class at all and a true notion of public service they would insist on waiting their turn.

He's just left St Bart's and has returned to King Edward VII's hospital following the recent heart surgery. This bodes well for his recovery prospects. I expect some on here might be annoyed by this news.
Love the way the Royal PR dept. always put a positive spin on the 99 year old's long stay in hospital,
then Nicholas " can't bear that man " Witchell comes on the BBC and gives a much more gloomy slant
on Phil's prognosis.

Deep down Nick hates the effing lot of them.

Latest from Barts - Phil forgot to sign out from the iPad he was using.

Mercedes Benz Windsor stated that they saw him looking shifty around some of their showroom S-Class's recently.
I recommend this book. It had nothing to do with Phil.

Can't do that...security precautions.

And just think of the miserable sods who would get miffed as he asked "where do you come from, did you come over with your parents and do you find it cold?"

More comedy than the BBC could muster in a month of Sundays...hehe

At that age, they usually send you home with a palliative care package in place.

Or rather they send you home, without putting in place, and then your relatives can spend the next 4 days trying to get the GP to liaise with the home nursing team.

Still, at least he'll have nurses on hand 24 hours a day, unlike 94 year old Fred across the road. Who came home from hospital at 9:30 on a Saturday night and they didn't bother to let his relatives know.
His neighbour noticed him sitting in his lounge chair, and phoned his niece at lunch time the next day. Couldn't get himself out of the chair.

Oh to be rich.

You've said you recently lost a family member so you're probably a bit raw, but even you must realise that chippy bks is still bks.

Except it doesn't...

Yes, that anecdote I recognise from caring for my gran a decade ago - however couldn't be further from what happened last year with my other half's 98 year old gran...

Not really though. If you have have money, you'll get better care.

Wife's mother came home, on the Wednesday night. and it took numerous phone calls and days, before her nursing needs were auctioned by the GP. Luckily her 2 daughters were nurses, coukd provide 24 hour care. Sorting out the pressure sores being just one of the many issues.
It was Sunday before the palliative care team got in touch after much hassle, and Sunday afternoon, that she had an appropriate hospital bed. Died Tuesday morning. Exactly 2 weeks ago.
I don't think Princess Ann has had to play hard ball with Phil's GP. So no. It's not ballocks. It's life and it's tough, but that's how it is.
