How apt!

3 Replies

I was just watching a re-run of Dinnerladies written by Victoria Wood, as I have my morning coffee.

Julie Walter's character came out with a classic quote: "that's the fantastic thing about the NHS, you can slip freely into a coma for as long as you want, without worrying about running up a big bill!"

So go for it folks, Myxodaema coma here we come - it's free at the point of delivery ...... Should we assume Victoria has first hand experience of the "your bloods are normal" saga??????

It made me laugh.

'Your bloods are normal" - you are in a coma and unfortunately are unable to take in the 'good news'.
