I'm glad a rich, elite university professor is well cared for. Spent a couple of weeks this summer with a friend from Ireland who told me her own horror stories about the "great" care they get in the U.K. After waiting almost two years she finally had bypass surgery except the surgeon forgot to do an artery. She is now mostly disabled and she has been denied surgery to correct the error. Too much money to open her up again just because of the error the nameless, faceless government board told her. She said the vast majority of doctors in the U.K are from third world countries where the doctor pay in the U.K is apparenlty a fortune but not enough to entice home grown doctors. She also told us how her husband had cancer and they refused to treat him with state of the art techniques because "it wasn't certain to help him". He's dead now and she lamented that had they been in the U.S. with insurance the treatment he needed would have been readily available. But Hawking, our favorite atheist, is well cared for so that's all that matters.....
