347 "MEDIC!" ...(or Why I Love the NHS)

Daughter No.2 was taken poorly over Christmas (Christmas Day itself no less!) with bronchiolitis, and the poor wee mite needed to go into hospital for a couple of days.

[Here there was to be an utterly heart-wrenching pic of her with oxygen and feeding tubes...but for some reason Blogger won't let me upload images at the moment. Hmm...]

Thank the Emperor she's far, far better now.

Thank you, wonderful staff of QA Hospital, Portsmouth, and your wonderful Paediatrics Ward.

Another one survives to fight another day in the Emperor's light...

- Drax.

  2. Blimey. Well important thing is she's a lot better now, glad to hear that bit. Hats off to our doctors and nurses, regardless of how much politicians use them as ammunition for their garrulous, belligerent arguments.

  6. Glad to hear she's doing well now Drax. And to echo Scipio and Raghnall, hats off to the NHS medical staff, from having been on both sides of the fence I can say that the postive experiences far outweigh the negatives, and the staff I've worked with are absolutely dedicated to what they do.

  11. Sorry to hear the sickness report & extra sorry for the delay in well wishes. Hope she's well on the mend now.

    Despite the burning of worlds, fleets torn asunder in the cold void and armies slaughtered on outdated orders. The Emperor does...very occasionally, actually protect. ;)
