Will we read the same comments in the US because of Obamacare? Woman died after doctors failed to spot toilet brush in her buttocks A mother died after doctors repeatedly failed to spot a toilet brush handle embedded in her buttock. Published: 9:02AM BST 19 May 2010 Cindy Corton, 35, was left with the bizarre injury after a drunken fall in a friend's bathroom in 2005. She was twice seen by hospital staff in the aftermath of the incident and an X-ray was carried out. But an inquest heard it took Mrs Corton, of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, two years to convince doctors that the handle was lodged in flesh of her bottom. By then what should have been a routine procedure to remove it had become much more dangerous. After two unsuccessful operations in 2007, Mrs Corton underwent further, much riskier surgery and died from massive blood loss at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre in June last year. Recording a narrative verdict, coroner Stuart Fisher criticised Dr Killian Mbewe, who first examined Mrs Corton at Grantham hospital. After the inquest, husband Peter Corton said: "Cindy got a very poor service from the NHS. "I'm sure she would have got better treatment in foreign countries."

But Jack is now a barbaric monster - was that transition deliberate. I didn't watch the show for 6yrs because of the name 'Sutherland' - assumed it was mushy lib nonsense. Watched last season for the first time and found it lightyears ahead of average TV. What do the writers & Sutherland have against letting Jack remain a hard-nosed hero who won't be cowered by political correctness. Why did they need to turn him into a blood thirsty butcher for the past few eps? Really strange. Yes, a movie is definitely in the works but unless they somehow manage to return Bauer to a sane/honorably motivated emotional state in the last 2 eps, only the creepy Leftist mind will be entertained by it.
