A former director of Britain's National Health Service, which runs the country's socialized medicine system, has died while waiting 9 months for an operation- at her own hospital.
Margaret Hutchon, a former mayor, had been waiting since last June for a follow-up stomach operation at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
But her appointments to go under the knife were cancelled four times and she barely regained consciousness after finally having surgery.
Her devastated husband, Jim, is now demanding answers from Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust - the organisation where his wife had served as a non-executive member of the board of directors.

I believe exceptions should be made for those who have served their country, province or state, city,etc. to have immediate medical care. The intellects and leaders are needed to keep our civilization alive and our country in a leadership role.Many of us follow and support those who are knowledgeable and possess skills to maintain our government. Some like the soldiers in the trenches must be sacrificed for the preservation of generals.And that's the way it is.
