ObamaCare Brings Us NHS And The Berwick Butt Blunder

“I am romantic about the NHS; I love it. All I need to do to rediscover the romance is to look at health care in my own country.” Dr. Donald Berwick

Gotta love those death in the butt toilet bowl cleaner handles. Especially the ones that crack government doctors can't see, even when using an x-ray machine looking for a plastic handle. This seems to be so rich in layers of governmental expertise from the ER to the OR to the bureaucratic numbskull that okayed all of these procedures.

Toilet brush 'blunder' death
A YOUNG mum died after a series of blunders by doctors who failed to spot a six-inch long TOILET BRUSH HANDLE embedded in her buttock, an inquest was told today.

...
Cindy's husband, a construction manager, is now taking legal action against United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust.

He said after the hearing: "Ok she was drunk but they didn't take her seriously. She showed them the wound but they didn't do a proper examination.

"I think it was probably down to the hospitals trying to save money and doing things as cheaply as possible."

He added: "Cindy got a very poor service from the NHS. I'm sure she would have got better treatment in foreign countries."

Oh, and this exquisite new system the Obama has brought us won't save $138 billion, it will cost us at least $115 billion more. That is quite a pain in the butt of another cause.
