I call BS.
If you had any decent medical insurance, you would have been in a private ward anyway.

Dear Two Bills: I certainly didn't mean to insult you or the NHS; as I said, the care was very good and attentive, actually better than most I've experienced in the U.S. When the Wi-Fi was out one of the nurses allowed downloading data from my insurance co. to his cell phone.

Also, I thought we had good trip insurance from Berkshire Hathaway, with medical being primary rather than secondary to Medicare. It paid the hospital bill and all the associated trip expenses. As far as accommodations, maybe placement in a ward is standard procedure for people with trip insurance.

Actually, I misspoke; the hospital was not Ashford, it was Wm. Harvey Hospital, in Ashford. And I'm sorry, at that point I would have looked forward to a meal at Denny's.
