That is unbelievably awful. I hope somebody is feeling terribly guilty for putting you and your family through that and terribly relieved it was with such an understanding family.

Oh my my what a shock. When I started reading I really thought you had been dreaming. How on earth could this happen. Being a nurse of many years standing, I should know.

I’ve made a few mistakes over the 50+years but never one of this magnitude. That poor nurse has all my sympathies having to admit such a terrible mistake, but you and your family have an extra two million. Did she manage to keep her job?

Being a widow for such an earth shattering short time must leave its mark and make you a mite suspicious. I could say when and if it happens (I hope for not a very long time ) for real, you will be prepared. However I don’t believe you will, you may think it’s a another mistake and won’t believe it until you see with your very own eyes.

I love your strength, your humor and your humanity in “forgiving “ this horror stricken poor nurse. I am sure, if she still has her job ( and I do hope she has) she will not make the same mistake again , hopefully!!!

I love our British stiff upper “lip fullness” ( is there such a word?) if you hadn’t had it by the bucket load, they may have had another phone call to make to the poor nurse’s husband with the same message you received. 😱

I do hope James continues to improve. Sending my love and best wishes from the bedside of my poorly husband in A&E. At least they won’t need to make a phone call if the worst happens, I am right here 🤞And he keeps shouting my name and telling everyone he has to get to work !! Bless him, and I frequently do !!

Goodness me that is awful how could they make such a mistake? I work in the nhs and I cannot imagine any excuse that means this is acceptable xx enjoy the fact you still have him after all and suggest a discharge from that hospital wherever it is as soon as possible.

Oh my gosh what utter sadness and madness and whatever else it can be called! What else can be said, I’m not sure. My love goes out to you and all your family for having had this extra grief to bear. Xxx

Oh my GOODNESS - I read this in horror … and checked the date wondering if I was reading the accounts the wrong way round …. Absolutely unforgivable ….. dear oh dear

I suppose to get out of bed was the answer.

All's well that ends well, but really inexcusable behaviour by hospital staff.

A personal apology from the Chief Exec is the least that should happen now.
