<HTML>Get well soon, Jon - but in the meantime there's a literary game we can all play...
Basically there must be many books with links to hospitals and all things medical - and I reckon we pought to be able to lista few here...
For instance - it's always traditional to send grapes, but we better make them the Grapes of Wrath to be truly Nextian.</HTML>

<HTML>Hope it all heals up ok, (the NHS is suprisingly good for all that we moan about it{allthough I will moan about the postie who expected me to answer the door at 7:30 yesterday to collect a parcel from amazon, grrr}). And the only medically themed bok i could think of was The Star Fracture (Ken McLeod) Which probably isn't well known enough to be on target.</HTML>
