| Former NHS director dies after operation is cancelled four times at her own hospital |
| 2011-04-02 |
| A former NHS director died after waiting for nine months for an operation - at her own hospital. Margaret Hutchon, a former mayor, had been waiting since last June for a follow-up stomach operation at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex. But her appointments to go under the knife were cancelled four times and she barely regained consciousness after finally having surgery. Her devastated husband, Jim, is now demanding answers from Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust - the organisation where his wife had served as a non-executive member of the board of directors. He said: 'I don't really know why she died. I did not get a reason from the hospital. We all want to know for closure. She got weaker and weaker as she waited and operations were put off.' Welcome to ObamaCare... |

| #9 That lady looks to have had a lavish hand with both tea and cream cakes. And a standard NHS dentist. It's a wonder she didn't die of an unnoticed dental abscess instead. |

| #1 Talk about making the bed and then having to lie in it. I can't think of a more fitting epitaph. |
