Bloody hell! That is pretty awful.

A bloke I know worked in Tanzania and had a DT175 as his only transport. He was knocked off out in the bush and broke his back. The local doctor apparently took six hours to arrive because he was working on his allotment and then BA refused to fly him home in case there was turbulence and he ended up paralysed. I think Air Africa took him in the end but he didn't wait in hospital but lying on the sofa of the company manager's house -- for five days!

It's not unknown for such a mix up to happen here in the UK!
