&gt; &gt; Fortunately I have outgrown the problem and still
&gt; have lots of blood, which the Red Cross in Oz wont
&gt; take as I lived in the UK in the mad cow disease
&gt; era.
&gt; 
&gt; I was referred to this hospital by the NHS. A bit disconcerting to realise - after being 'reassured' there was nothing to worry about - that I'd been referred to a McMillan specialist surgical unit. The specialist bit being female cancers. Still ... They wanted me in next week. I said no go, I've booked a holiday for the end of that week and I'm not losing the damn deposit, let alone the tan if there is one. After we'd agreed the best date was the 3rd September, I got a panicky phone call. 'Um, can you possibly come in a week before the operation, for a small procedure?' No, I bloody well couldn't - I'd paid for the entire holiday by then and besides, originally this op was supposed to BE the small procedure! I then asked what this 'procedure' might be. It was nothing important, just a scrape to check for bugs. Next question: had I been in an NHS hospital within the last 6 weeks? Seeing where this was leading I assured them that no, I had not been to an NHS hospital within the last 6 weeks. Which was true, if you ignored the 3 outpatient appointments and the 2 scans. The op bypassed the 6 week rule - just. Them:' Oh, that's alright then. It's just that if you've been anywhere near an NHS unit we have to check you haven't picked up an infection.' Not because of the dangers during myoperative procedure, but in case I pass it on to the North Downs £1000 per night paying customers, I suppose.
Look, I travel on the London tube and the British railways, right? I've eaten in a Toby carvery within the LAST 3 WEEKS. I'd be contagious if I lived the rest of my life in a sterile bubble.]]></description>
