Is it still the case that if you're in a private hospital for anything bigger than an ingrown toenail, and something goes wrong, then they'll shove you in an ambulance and take you to the nearest NHS teaching hospital, because:
- that's where all the big kit is
- that's where all the top experts are
- that's where the nurses and procedures are in place for critical care
?
Because that was the case 10 years ago. BUPA is great for seeing a doctor quickly with a non life threatening condition. And the biscuits [cookies] were nicer.
My knowledge of the NHS is almost a decade out of date though.
