A National Health Service (NHS) hospital in Great Britain has paid claims by 38 patients or their families, and has apologized to all of them for the grossly negligent care it provided. The Telegraph headlines:”Hospital apologises to 38 families for appalling care that saw a patient starve to death.”
Coming soon to a country near you. The famlies of the patients who were treated so attrociously (follow the above link) received a financial settlement averaging $16,000. Didn’t we see the UK bragging about their National Health Services in the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics? The NHS should be ashamed.
