Members John81 Posted October 17, 2015 Members Share Posted October 17, 2015 Praise God she can receive such care. According to Obama older people in this country might not be worth such expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Invicta Posted October 17, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I see the op was in a hospital on the Isle of Wight. My brother in law was very senior in the health service in the Isle of Wight. Â One evening when he returned from the mainland, the ferry was full, but there was always one space reserved for the health service. Â He claimed that space, but was later seriously reprimanded for it as it was held in case an ambulance had to come urgently and he had no right to use that space.
