Patient Dies After Being Given Cleaning Fluid to Drink at British Hospital

Socialized medicine isn’t the only thing that makes British hospitals so hazardous. The rapid de-Britishizing of Britain may also have an effect, as when an elderly patient died after being given cleaning fluid to drink at Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton:

Staff at a hospital where a patient died after drinking cleaning fluid speak such poor English that they need translators, an inquest heard.

A coroner expressed concern that failing to understand the language could have contributed to a situation which meant Flash was put in a water jug and drunk by Joan Blaber, 85.

Wonders the coroner,

‘How do you train staff, who may have been able to manage basic communication, in the rather more intricate matters you need to understand when you are handling and dealing with substances which … are potentially extremely hazardous?’

Drinking cleaning fluid may be a custom back in their exotic homelands. Some even drink engine cleaning fluid.

No worries about it happening again. The hospital says it will no longer use the cleaning fluid.

Since drinking other cleaning fluids would presumably have a similar effect, maybe this means they are not using any cleaning fluid at all. That ought to make the hospital much healthier.

On the bright side, the sooner patients die, the easier it is on the budget. That’s why socialized medicine entails rationing care.
