I agree partly with all of you. There are some appauling places to work out there and some awfull aswell as excellent nurses. I feel sad that some places have a two tiered system for the rich and poor but unfortunatly as the saying goes 'you get what you pay for'. There is nowhere exempt from the two tiered system. I am a community nurse and unfortunatly have had the opportunity to experience this first hand. There are a few patients on our caseload that are affluent people and know their rights. These are pandered to by some nurses as they want to be seen as giving the best service ( that is:- appointments by convienience of the person etc) whereas the others such as myself who may have to wait for a nurse all day. This is only one example. There are many more. The GP's around here are the same. Will only do home calls for certain people and believe me if I have seen a patient and wish for a GP callout it is for a good reason. I have been personally repremanded for doing this. Is this not my job? If it is not then what is. Sorry if I have digressed a bit!! The article in question beggers belief as I feel that in the NHS all sould have the same high quality treatment and care. If you want private arrange to go elsewhere where the normal people cannot feel inferior.

Hi there. I sort of remember a lady presenting with exactly the same symptoms as yours. And likewise baby taken to scbu for a while. Mum did have a TORCH screen and she was strep b positive. Sorry can't remember anything else apart from she was a c-section and had febrile convulsions. Sorry again but I was a senior midwifery student and had my own patient to look after. Only know this because I was covering the ladies midwife while she had lunch!!!!! As you can imagine my fear on the day!!! LOL
