O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[Riverleeno]

We're talking about NHS staff here who have a duty of care to their patients. If they had taken all reasonable and available steps to be safe then I have nothing I can sue them for. If they failed to take all reasonable and available steps then in my view they would have acted negligently. If they won't take the reasonable and available steps they should move out of patient facing work.

After vaccines became available ( I presume you're not waiting for the government mandate to come into effect to keep yourself safe? ) have you carried a card or told your relatives that - so that if you had the misfortune to suffer a heart attack or be bleeding to death after a nasty DIY accident - you would refuse treatment from an unvaccinated first responder/ nurse/ surgeon. Obviously you would not want to catch COVID off them in that situation and would be happy to wait for the next paramedic or on-call surgeon.

Question: You end up bleeding to death and you have a choice of being treated by vaccinated or unvaccinated - presumably you don't care which.

Answer to your question - I've told my wife to sue any hospital that causes a deterioration in my condition due to any action they have failed to take to optimise my care. Whether that's Hep B, Covid or leaving a lump of plastic inside me doesn't matter.
