Britain's unluckiest bride: Honeymoon cancelled by Nationalized Health Care

[Little-Acorn]

Tumors on the uterus? Excruciating pain? Doubled over and writhing on the ground? Here, take these painkillers and live with it for six months. We'll probably be ready to do something about it by then.

And remember that we're sure this medical system will be far better than the private one you used to have, if only government liberals are given enough money, and enough power to impose their plans on you.

'Britain's unluckiest bride': Newlywed hospitalised twice on her big day... then has wedding and engagement rings stolen

It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life... but Yvonne Wilson would happily forget walking up the aisle. The 37-year-old has been dubbed Britain's unluckiest bride after she was rushed to hospital twice on her big day, had to abandon her dream honeymoon and had her wedding and engagement rings stolen.

After the wedding party moved to a local park for official photographs to be taken Mrs Wilson, 37, was struck down by agonising pains.

Leaving her husband, 51, to meet the arriving guests, Mrs Wilson was rushed to nearby Rotherham District Hospital by bridesmaid Sue Vickers. After being examined by doctors in the Accident and Emergency department, Mrs Wilson was given painkillers and released.

She returned to her wedding reception but was hit by more pain as the party was ending at 1am and had to return to the hospital. The following day she had further examinations and after a scan two weeks later doctors discovered she had a fibroid - a benign tumour on her womb that would require surgery to remove.

But when doctors revealed there was a six month waiting list for the operation, Mr and Mrs Wilson decided to cancel their £3,000 Caribbean holiday in Barbados and instead use the cash for a private operation.

Then in a final cruel twist, Mrs Wilson's wedding and engagement rings were stolen from a house where she was working as a mobile beautician. She had removed the rings to carry out the treatment but forgot them when she left. The property was burgled the following night and the jewellery was stolen.

Well I'm pretty sure her priority on the first visit was to get in, seen and out, we don't know what the conversations were between her and her doctor at the time, to assume that he just gave her painkillers and threw her out against her will isn't a ver balanced approach to take.

As for the surgery, 6 months seems a ling time, but how long do the treatments that take place before the surgery last? Presumably it's more efficient for the NHS to run treatment then surgery.

Does nationalised health care mean the best healthcare for everyone? No, but does it mean good healthcare for everyone? Yes. Of you really wana pay for excellence you can.

But the 27-year-old claims she was refused an ambulance and told to walk the 100m from her house in Leicester to the city's nearby Royal Infirmary.
Her daughter Mariah was delivered on a pavement outside the hospital by a passer-by, just before ambulance crews arrived.
