He is hardly eating as it is and says he won't eat at all if they don't move him because the smell is making him feel sick. So, MIL is trying to get him moved to another hospital where he would get better care and a private room (she is telling the NHS that the stress of being on that ward is not going to help him recover). But, the road conditions are horrible and it's snowing again, so I don't know if they will move him or not. Plus, no one has been able to visit him so far this week because they haven't even gritted the main roads.  :-\\\\

I think the NHS does try to accommodate people who are slightly different cases and move them to different wards or even private rooms if that will help.  At least we found that to be true at the Royal Free in London.
Good luck. Hope he feels better.

Oh Jewlz...hopefully your MIL can have him moved.  That way, he can relax, get well, and get home soon.

Oy Jewlz.  I hope the weather improves and he is able to be moved soon.  Not eating isn't going to help him get better. 

I hope he gets better soon and makes it home (or somewhere better) for Christmas.

Well this is just horrible news. Boss called us for a meeting. A fellow employee, a pretty young guy with kids, passed away last night. He had been not feeling well the last few days and having back pain. He went to A&E last night and passed away in the ICU from a flesh eating bacteria of some sort.

Oh, how truly dreadful! Just awful for his family. And scary for the rest of you at work I would imagine.

Thanks all, it's really quite shocking to us all. He had 3 kids, ages 7, 5, and 1.
Really, truly awful.

We all knew him. I worked in the past with him directly, though I haven't in recent times.  Very sad indeed.
