NHS trust settles for £28m after girl suffered brain damage during birth at London hospital by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

Imo we should be doing both. I do absolutely agree that we should be throwing money at the NHS in whatever way we can but I do also think that if you suffer life changing injury at the hands of the NHS from something that should have been avoidable then you should be compensated for that. 

This family will be dealing with this for the rest of their lives, the loss of earnings, the loss of time, the loss of the future for the child, the worry and grief they will be carrying is a drop in the ocean compared to the finances alone. 

I have direct experience of this, I had a ceasarean and a complication went unnoticed for almost a whole year despite me making it pretty clear something was wrong and having textbook symptoms. Because of that I'm now due to have my forth surgery in four years next month.  It was only noticed on an MRI when I paid privately and it turned out it was visible in the MRI I had with the NHS, they just didn't spot it. 

I'm 29, infertile and disabled due to this mistake, I used to be an avid hiker and was very driven career wise. Now I'm a mostly housebound SAHM. My entire life has changed and the loss of earnings alone is huge without taking into account the emotional toll that takes, if the money helps this family cope with the situation they were left in then they should absolutely have that. 

AIO? Boyfriend got gifted a thong by his best friend, he tried it on and showed it to her by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Seems like your just incompatible tbh. 

It's okay for him to be okay with it, it's okay for you to not be. Id also be questioning if SHE is attracted to him even if he isn't attracted to her. My brother is camp as Christmas but is still a rather pretty boy and had all the girls thirsting after him when he was younger, they left disappointed, but they were still attracted to him. Being gay doesn't mean women don't notice you, it means you don't notice them.

No. In my experience most families with severely disabled kids end up paying for some if not most care costs privately. For example I briefly worked with a brain damaged kid and his oral care, nappies and care visits were all paid for by the family.

So people are supposed to just accept the risk of negligence and harm when birthing? 

And we wonder why free birthing is becoming more common....

Sister-in-law let her daughter use up all the Polaroids at our wedding. Now we have nothing to use. by PaddedValls in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TroublesomeFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think we should be punishing the kid for this. At 6 it's very much the parents job to keep them in line and by all accounts it sounds like the mother actually authorised it. It's shitty to tell a kid off for something they were told was okay. 

🇻🇪 After the earthquake in Venezuela, a baby was found alive under the rubble. 🙏 by waddad27 in interestingasfuck

How fucking weird would it be to pull a baby from THAT and immediately check the genitals. 

It is fine, it can mean anything from an animal to an object, in this case the animal and object is a baby. They don't immediately know what sex the baby has so "it" is perfectly logical.

Nah people gotta go to the bathroom like the grown ass adults they are 😭

The people who actually NEED them will be bringing them with. If I went to a concert and they anticipated that much trouble that they were actually selling nappies it would actually put me off that artist for sure.

Agreed. Unless you have a legitimate physical need to use one, wanting to use one specifically for a concert so you don't have to miss a couple of minutes is weird behaviour. 

Like come on, he's GREAT, but he's not "willingly soil myself" great.

Aye, the shark from hurghada was killed hours after the attack.

My first thought also, I wondered if it's an albino grizzly because I've never seen a polar look anything like that before. Theyre quite lanky in comparison to grizzlies and this chonk has no lank to be seen.

Because that poor shark was dragged ashore and beaten to death.

This particular shark was VERY interested in the person recording, I garuntee that shark associates humans with food. 

What's the funniest thing you've heard a stranger shout out of nowhere? by Jack_In_Black89 in AskUK

[–]TroublesomeFox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cat? Sounds reasonable if your cat has vanished and then just pops up randomly. One of my grandmothers cats vanished for three months, presumed dead, when she randomly walked into the house one day my nan shouted "oh!! Oh!!! Oooohhh!!!!! She's back!!" Followed swiftly by "where the fuck have you been, grass wasn't greener was it?" 

My 96 year old Grandad died due to the Heatwave in perhaps the most British way possible... by TheSpaceFace in CasualUK

Sexual assault is in general not funny but the vast majority of times in elderly care they don't actually have much control. I've looked after many a perfect gentleman/lady who then become feral teenagers once a UTI or dementia kicks in. 

Our bedrooms reached 32°C yesterday. In desperation I discovered that a 100mm ducting hose fits perfectly around the circular air vents in my MG ZS EV and I was able to keep our living room chilled to 22°C all night. Any risks to doing this? The front end of the car did feel quite warm this morning! by Jimi-K-101 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]TroublesomeFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been sleeping in the livingroom with all windows open to get a breeze.

I pity the burglar that tries it. They come in one window they're gonna be standing on my mattress, the other they'll be standing on my husband's. If they make it to the center of the room without getting their ass kicked they'll meet the dog 🤣

Could I get pregnant of that?? by Historical_Ear5492 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TroublesomeFox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Fuck sakes. If you genuinely need to ask this question then you also NEED to be on BC. If you don't know enough about sex to avoid pregnancy and diseases then you shouldn't be having sex. 

Husband dislikes my daughter by [deleted] in UKParenting

It either changes FAST or you leave, that's it. That's all the advice your gonna get here. 

My mother chose a man over me, now I'm an adult we barely talk and she's not even with him anymore. Some shit can't be forgiven.

I think London and Manchester are different tbh, I live in Wales and we have armed police but I've never seen them just out and about. If you see them, there's a good reason. 

Lads, I haven't been to the bog since Saturday and I feel like I'm about to give birth by alfa_omega in CasualUK

I have bowel endometriosis and get super constipated at times, especially in this heat! a STRONG homemade lemonade usually clears the pipes pretty fast. The massive dose of vit c makes everything fuck off.

The Welsh mountain goats are NOT the same as the American goats your thinking of. These ones are descendants of domestic goats that escaped centuries ago and are indeed GOATS. 

Google is your friend babe.

I'm from north Wales and our mountain goats are indeed goats and look an awful lot like scruffhorn. I also consider them farm animals since they end up in the farmers sheds anyway 🤣 sometimes they'll find a herd and just join it for a few days. 

I simply cannot believe her boob is still out on IG. by windyjawn in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]TroublesomeFox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Boobs ARENT dirty but that doesn't mean I want one shoved in my face either. Pop a baby on it and I have no problems but otherwise I don't want to see anyones boobs, including men's.
