A GRANNY is suing health chiefs after surgeons stitched up her bowel during a hysterectomy operation.
Lynn Main, 55, suffered terrible stomach pains and was bunged up for two weeks after the botched procedure.
Doctors dismissed the problem as constipation and advised her to eat more to get things moving.Eventually the mum-offour’s bowels ruptured and she had to undergo a further op to repair the damage. Lynn and partner Alan Scott, 60, are now taking bosses of Horton General Hospital, Banbury, Oxfordshire, to court.
Lynn, who has four grandchildren, said: “The pain in my stomach was out of control and I thought I was having a heart attack. Alan and me both knew that something was seriously wrong but none of the doctors or nurses would listen.
“We begged them to do something but they just said I needed rest or to eat properly.
This sentence bothered me: “When somebody goes into hospital, you expect mistakes to be made but something on this scale is atrocious.”
I know mistakes happen sometimes but should I actually need to expect them?

“…to warn citizens of the horrors that will soon befall them if they continue along this path of self destruction..”
Yes, I believe pretty well describes with the insurance industry is doing.

“…to warn citizens of the horrors that will soon befall them if they continue along this path of self destruction..”
Let me complete that sentence for you
““…to warn citizens of the horrors that will soon befall them if they continue along this path of self destruction by not pressuring their elected representatives to implement a national single payer health system.
There, so much better.

I want to do certain homosexual things to you
Thank you for the idolization, really, but I’m a heterosexual. But even if I was gay, you wouldn’t really be my type.
Besides, drinking water is essential to get a wholesome intestinal tract. To stimulate the natural peristaltic action, an individual ought to drink half of his or her pounds in ounces of pure non-carbonated drinking water. For example, if your pounds is 150 pounds, you should drink 75 ounces of water, which is approximately 2 liters. If you drink enough drinking water and consume a sufficient amount of fiber, your colon will restore its purpose more than time.
