Very amusing take on the experience and beautiful tied to the 250th anniversary of the hospital... I hope you enjoy your repeat visits as much as possible... and get to check out more of what the hospital has to offer...

I enjoyed my time in Hospital. Admittedly, not the best hotel I've ever stayed in, but a full room service, plenty of attentive young nurses, and an en suite.

Not sure how many people actually die in casualty but I understand that two-thirds of all deaths occur in hospital. Clearly, these are dangerous places to go to. When presented with a totality illogical statistical reasoning I counter that on the basis of two in three deaths occuring in hospital we ought to abolish hospitals so that people live longer.

so youre off to Guy's A&E now for the MRSA swab test?

What a great way to write about your visit! How nice that you got efficient tour guides and tropical weather, people flying to warmer climes are obviously missing a trick.

A friend of mine had a kidney transplant at the Royal London a few years ago and they gave him his life back. He was so pleased he threw a party at the pub across the road for all the staff involved. They generally do a great job under difficult circumstances so lets not be too hard on them.

I love the fact that, even in the throes of a medical emergency, you were counting the trauma bays for a future blogpost. Now, that's commitment to the cause.

But of course it Would have been a greenfield site 250 years ago ...

Highly entertaining account! Reads almost like a page out of a Sam Beckett novel.

:0)

I like the RLH and I adore the staircases.

Once more an excellent post DG (although there are four trauma bays they can be a bit hard to see when you are on a trolley).

And I agree with Johnny Topaz when he says that the nurses do a brilliant job in difficult circumstances.

It's *almost* a shame that the hospital will move to the new buildings. The atmosphere of the old building induces a sort of polite awe in people. Something unlikely to happen in a lino and peach coloured new building.

Why are hospitals so hot?

I love the statue of Alexandra in the gardenns opposite the childrens' building.

I'm sure you know it already but one of the saree shops opposite the main entrance is where Joseph Merrick was first discovered in a freak show by doctor...whatshisface...

I miss London

oh and 'ooh ooh!' I've been to the museum! Its only small but there is a table dedicated to Jack the Ripper that was paid for by Patricia Cornwell and the display of old surgeons tools is pretty scary!!

I have a great fondness for the RLH, no doubt something to do with being born there and growing up a few streets away. During my time at uni (QMW down the road) I ended up taking several end of year exams in buildings next to the A&E.

Also, like Tom, I love the staircases too, most likely because every time me and my siblings went to visit to see newly-arrived cousins (about 20 times in all over a decade) we'd be shooed out of the Mary Northcliffe ward by nurses and would occupy ourselves jumping off stairs. We were easily pleased as children!
