Hold on don't you mean he spent hours on a trolley unattended whilst the Tories plotted to sack staff and privatise services?

Seriously good luck to the lad make sure he looks after his extremities (eyes and toes).

Great to hear a good news story about the NHS.

Thanks for the messages
We as a family are going to have to educate ourselves on something that never 'affects you'.
Advice will be seriously appreciated along with any helpful and readable links to web sites or literature on the shelf.
Poor lad has a lifetime of self care to participate in and if I could take it for him I would as all of us as parents would I'm sure.
Anyhow yes I will praise good examples and I'm pleased to say in less than 24 hrs he has had the attention of multiple nursing staff two doctors and two consultants all showing an amount of care and concern that he needs.
This must be the norm not the exception I'm sure.
Again thanks and onwards and upwards.
