The patient's death really hit home to us; last year DH was diagnosed with bacteria growing on his replacement heart valve and while the normal practice would be to replace the replacement, it was felt that at his age and with the scarring caused by the previous operation, he would likely not have survived. Luckily he was treated with very strong antibiotics over a long period in hospital and he pulled through, but this episode of Hospital made us wonder what we'd have done if the antibiotics hadn't worked - would we have risked the operation, knowing it was his last chance? We think we would; you take whatever chance you have just as "Joe" did. We have great admiration for his family who allowed this to be filmed and shown, and for the brilliant team of doctors & surgeons & anaesthetist involved.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
