Medical matters matter

After a life time of accompanying family member to hospitals and doctor's surgeries, it may come as small suprise that I do not really enjoy medical trivia or hospital visits. But life is life and some times you just need to get on with things, there is no other way at times, I think you know the score. A family member recently had to undergo a knee reconstruction and she is recovering very well for which we are very grateful indeed, that is only to be expected. She had the procedure carried out in a private hospital and she had a good standard of care, something for which we are equally thankful.

But operations such as these do not always go according to plan unfortunately. Imagine having to lodge a DePuy Hip Replacement lawsuit or some other legal suit. For many people that is also a reality that they have to face. Life sure is tricky sometimes and although you would not want to pursue every avenue in the case of a grievance or complaint generally, medical matters are too important to just ignore. If you do you could make a big mistake and you do not really want to take any chances with your health, now do you?
