Botched Surgery

Thanks Obamacare Clone!

Boned Jello

“ A plumber whose arm was left twisted grotesquely out of shape in an accident ten months ago has had an operation to correct it 'cancelled four times'.

Torron Eeles, 50, has been left unable to work since falling down the stairs and now fears he may lose his home after being denied incapacity benefit.

The father-of-three today hit out at the NHS for the 'unacceptable delays', but East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust said Mr Eeles had his operation cancelled on 'only' two occasions on clinical safety grounds.

His left arm has hung limply by his side since he fractured the humerus bone in December 2008.

Sigh.  If the Martha Coakley story doesn't demonstrate just how much Americans hate the idea of National Health Care,  nothing will, so this story is pretty much coal to Newcastle.Sigh again.

If he were an American, all he would have to do is join a union or work for the government to get Cadillac treatment...

"They" claim that it was canceled becuase his BP was too high (so they referred him to a GP to get it under control.) My Wife (An ER Doc) says that's BS as they can give him drugs to lower it long enough to do the surgery.

I have an idea. Let's bring this standard of care to the US. Jeebus.. I hope Brown wins.

BTW: For the first time ever I have given money to a political race not in my own state.
