Especially given it was a private hospital the NHS had referred me to martin (hence the free to browse broadsheet)

Oh and thanks project, it seems to be a standard pre op rather than because I've been assessed high risk. Though the worrying thing is that the nurse suggested I might have to avoid exercise for as much as 6 weeks post op (hernia)

[i]hence the free to browse broadsheet[/i]

they're testing you for MRSA and yet you're allowed to handle a communal broadsheet newspaper in the waiting room of a hospital?
