The weather continues to be lovely although the heat appears to have melted the tar off the road surface here in Trimingham!During the past week I have been fortunate enough to be invited totwo local schools, firstly to Belfry school in Overstrand to meet the great team of three local mums who befriended the school.Aided by the headmaster and staff and with lots of physical hard work& persuasion to others have turned an unused patch at the back of the school into a Calm Wood with a vegetable patch, a pond (fenced & secure) a bird hide wigwam and much more see the photos and details on page 8.Then to North Repps school where the oldest class had prepared talks on their favourite subjects which they then related to their visitors. Teaching them how to speak to people other than their family, I learnt more about snakes than I really needed to know!

I think this is a great way to get the young communicating, some-thing which seems to be lacking in many generations, even inthese days of mobile phones,the web andiPads etc. (I was recently assured by a companydoing some work for me they would phone Monday, perhaps I should haveclarified which Monday maybe theywere talking Aug or ....)The younger class had been invited to join the tea to learn from their peers how to serve tea and inform us of the great raffle prizes on offer.Sofia a young visitor was the winnerof guess the number of sweets in the jar, pictured also on page 8.

Dear Editor,With regard to the letter about signage in Crab Tales Issue 065 from S. Austin.If they had looked at the sign properly they would have seen that it points down the slope to the beach. At the bottom of the slope on the promenade there is another sign pointing now in the right direction. I hope this clears up any confusion for visitors to sunny Overstrand, (even those from Cromer)

Dear Editor,When I was walking along the beach, near the lifeboat station at Mundesley, I found the upper set of somebodys dentures. They were of very high quality and must havebeen expensive. Please could you put a mention in your next edition please as I would like to return them to their owner. Kind regards,Jayne YoungsTelephone: 01603 630 709

Dear Editor,Kathryn Moor pointed out that (in her opinion) the plants on Mundesley sea front were not up to standard this year. However she forgot to point out the fabulous attempt by the gardeners to bring us something different this year.

The flower and turf clock may not be in full bloom yet, but it does look like it will be quite spectacular by the time the summer visitors arrive. Nigel Holmes

Dear Editor, A Big fan of No 1 chip shop gets stuck in the bin after eating too many chips!

Hes got good taste but will have to go on a diet to get out of that tight squeezeFrom Annie

Dear Liz,I have to object to Miranda Marshalls article under the heading Help for Heroes. Her answer to the question: Why is the Duke of Westminster one of the richest men in Britain? My answer: As per Leaseholder summer 2010:The more likely reason for the governments lack of concern for the countrys 3 million lease-holders is the generous support provided to theConservative Party by leading billionaire land-lords, including the Duke of Westminster, the Earl of Cadogan & the Marquess of Salisbury. To compare Fusilier Lee Rigby with the Duke of Westminster is ABHORRENT. I am not aware of any other country who still hasleasehold properties. As usual Scotland is way ahead and abolished leasehold over a decade ago!(I am not Scottish). Obviously it is not in the interest of the current Conservative government to reform the current situation but to continue with the 12th century feudal system. A typical local example of a building being exploited by a freeholder is Trafalgar Court, Mundesley, which currently has its third Receiver/Manager!! My understanding is that all other buildings in Europe are controlled by the flat owners community committee. Hopefully one day the leaseholders will get democracy like the rest of Europe!Alan Roper

Dear Liz & Philip, In February, Sheringham & Cromer Lions Clubheld their annual end of Lionistic Year meeting where retiring President Lion Derick Bowler, handed over the position of President to our new President Lion Anton Elliott, who has been our Lion President twice.We also made donations to the East of England Air Ambulance of 500.00 and The N. & N. Association for the Blind, who will receive a cheque of the value of 1050.00We would wish to thank everyone who has supported us in any way, with putting much appreciated cash in our collecting tins on the street, or outside the various stores, plus any other events which we held.We do assure everyone, that every penny you contribute does go to local charities.Events taking place soon include our tombola stand and other items at the Cromer Carnival.The vintage car show at Beeston Fields, and at Mannington Hall Show.A new event in September for all the family, onSunday 13th Sept, will be a Family Car TreasureHunt, starting from Sheringham at approx 1:30 -2.00pm.

Dear Liz,In response to the article Maritime Sayings in yoiur last issue: Pipe Down refers.The Pipe is a Bosuns Pipe not a Bowsons Pipe. I know for I had to use one when I was the Quartermaster In H.M.S. Ladybird,the Royal Navy Headquarters Ship in the Korean War.The title Bosun was originally Boatswain who was a foreman of the ships crew.The Ships Quartermaster with the Officer of theWatch are responsible for the daily routine of the ship. There are different pipings for the changes in the ships routine, e.g. Stand Easy when the ships company have a 15 min. break mid morning & afternoon, Clear Lower Deck when the ships company lines up on pay day, Hands to Make & Mend, a half day to get all your clothes washed and ironed.The Royal Navy was well organised.Regards.Wyndham Northam.Mundesley

Dear Liz,Mr & Mrs Morris who rescued (& adopted) Sid three years ago said they are great followers of the Crab Tales and would love Sid to feature.

Sid, named after Sid Vicious, travels with theMorris when the come to stay at Links CaravanPark from Caister. He was out for his walk on thecliff top and can be seen there from time to time. Hes rather partial to chicken skins and not impressed with cat or dog food; a hedgehog that knows the finer things of life.Nth Norfolk might be looking for a dog to provethe county dog friendly. Sid can assure you thatMundesley, The Links Caravan Park & Grays ice cream parlour opposite the Mundesley coastwatch tower are all hedgehog friendly. Apparently he is rather partial to Paula the ownerof the parlour... but she hasnt let on his favourite flavour of ice cream!All the BestKathryn Moore

The weather was wonderful, with lots of sun and a light breeze to cool everybody down.The fete which raises money for All Saints church funds, was very well attended and we did well financially. All visitors enjoyed themselves - BBQ, tea and cakes and lots of stalls to enjoy themselves. A balloon making man was entertaining the children by creating balloon characters for them and Police dogs were there as well as the coast guards and the Fire brigade.Many children enjoyed going into the fire engine to see what it is like. We also had the Sutton jazz band to play for us during the event.

All Saints Church In Mundesley on sea held their annual summerfete on the cliff top on Saturday 11th July.

I did not count the number of carts taking part, nor the number of riders, but I can safely saythat there was a fantastic turnout on the day of everyone involved. This was the first of many years to come anda brilliant additional Event for the Cromer Carnival, to be enjoyed by every one of the hundreds who turn out.

The overall winner, pictured in front above, of the successful racer, was the White Horse Inn cart, built by Steve Barber, with the help and advice of Adrian Newey who is better known for helping to design the current winning F1 car for Lewis Hamiltons team.

Andrew Howes (Solomon & Ezras dad), MartinSteward (Raife & Rosies dad) and Joel Neale of Neale Building Services (Roses dad). Andrew built the wonderful tee-pee.

Martin made the willow fence and pathway leading up to the bird-watching shelter. And Joel and his team made the lovely bird watching shelter over-looking the pond.

Their expertise has meant that the whole area has turned out to be so much more than just a wildlife garden

The Calm WoodsWritten by the Friends of the Belfry Primary School:

Thanks to everyone who came along to the grand opening of The Calm Woods. The area is now fully open and available for thechildren to use. It is a wonderful space full oflovely areas for the children to develop their knowledge of wildlife and sustainability. It has been hard work for us all but seeing thechildren using this space makes it all worthwhile. It was a lovely time to celebrate all the effortthat has gone in to making it such a success and those of you who were there will already know that we have even won an award from the Norfolk Biodiversity Partnership in their Inspiring Others category. We cant wait to attend the awards ceremony to receive our award!

The Friends, Charlotte Frary, Caroline Dickensand Emma Allright, would like to thank all the parents and children who have helped out on the gardening days but also especially thank some very generous skilled parents who gave up a considerable amount of their time.

Above: Charlotte Dorner, the winner of the sign design,who opened the Woods.

Oak Class pupils read their speeches to the visitors to gain confidence and the visitors gave their feedback.

The next Afternoon Tea to be held will be in the Autumn Term. To keep up to date with what happens at the school go to : www.Oakclass99.blogspot.co.uk www.acornclass99.blogspot.co.uk or Twitter @northreppspri

By Kristen Hardingham (Year 6)

Tea, Cakes And SpeechesOn Tuesday 14th July Northrepps Primary Schoolhosted their second successful Afternoon Tea and 61 people attended the event.

The Head Teacher Mrs Hamilton helped to organise the Afternoon Tea along with the Friends of Northrepps Primary School. The Year 2s were being trained ready for next year; they took orders and carried cups of tea to the visitors. There was a raffle to win fabulous prizes and a guess how many sweets in the jar they raised over 100 for school trips etc.

FacebookPresently, I am trying to make friends outside of facebook while applying the same principles.Therefore every day, I go down on the street and tell the passers-by what I have eaten, how I feel, what I have done the night before, and what I will do after, I give them pictures of my family, my dog and me gardening and spending time in my pool.I also listen to their conversations and I tell them I love them.

And it works :I already have 3 followers : 2 police officers and a psychiatrist.

Thanks to Sylvia for this

New Showroom / Hardware Centre Opening Soon


Ten Years AfterThe dust, soot and sh*t had barely settled; the spilt blood not fully congealed, before the first conspiracy theories of the 7/7 bombing outrage started issuing forth. These are some Ive come across only today in going back over these outrageous and harrowingevents and, in relaying them, well, that is all Imdoing - relaying them - NOT lending any credenceto, or endorsing, them. Some are nothing short of fantasy while others are quite feasible.

The theories naturally follow the chronology of the fateful day - not as far back as Leeds before4am that morning - but in Luton where a mono-chrome still frame from a CCT camera shows thebombers together. It is claimed that this is a verycrudely Photoshopped montage (was there a Photo-shop app back in 2005?) with railings going behind the head of one of them BUT in front of his arm. They then allegedly caught the 07.40 Thameslinkservice from Luton to Kings Cross BR Station. The conspiracy theorists counter claim was that the 07.40 was cape (Railway telegraphic code for cancelled) that day so they had to catch, instead, the 07.48 departure which didnt arrive at Kings X BR until 08.42 - clearly not in time to meet the explosion schedule.The three bombers all caught London Undergroundtrains from Kings Cross - one an Eastbound CircleLine Train 204 - comprising six car C69/C77 surface stock while the 2nd bomber caught another Circle Line 6 car C69/C77 surface stockunit, once more, but this time Westbound Train 216.Finally, the third perpetrator caught an actual TUBE train comprising a 6 car 1973 stock Piccadilly Line (deep level) Southbound service - unit 311.204 was barely out of Liverpool Street before the bomb was set off and, as the smoke & noise of the explosion blew back into this station, subsequent waiting passengers took flight from Eastbound Platform 1 from whence the doomed train had just departed. Im sure many of us have waited for trains at this very spot?

This explosion has, nevertheless, always been referred to as the Aldgate bomb.Passengers in the affected car make mention of the floor being raised up - flew up - from the force of the detonation yet blasts *blow* not *suck* - an explosion NOT an implosion - which suggests that the blast was from a pre-planted device OUTSIDE of the train between the running rails - and a powerful military device, at that.I mentioned, earlier, theories nothing short of fantasy, one such being the suggestion of a linear induction ballistic weapon running alongand powered by the 630 DC volts of the 3rd & 4th conductor rails... incredible.More fantasy...It was claimed, then denied, that timer componentswere found in the debris of each of the 3 trains and that the bombers werent even on board but the devices planted, abandoned and fired by threesynchronised mobile phone alarm timers. They couldnt have been fired by dialling the mobile phones remotely as network signals will not work below ground.This particular incredible theory continues that the alleged bombers were mere Patsies - eagerradicalized fanatics who were recruited, murderedelsewhere and their various body parts scatteredamongst the wreckage of the 3 different trains by government agencies to uphold the suicide bomber claims.Supposedly, at the time, there was an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live concerning a crisis man-agement exercise in National security and a simulation drill - based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at these very same three underground stations - where it happened in reality. This was subsequently conveniently brushed aside and written off as a spooky coincidence.The whole idea behind the claims of the conspiracytheory was for the Government to foster bad blood

Comparative sizes between Tube stock & (sub)Surface stock

& hatred towards Muslim extremists & terrorists,as such, and gain public approval and support for PM Blairs Iraq War? The same claims had previously been put forward by certain elementsregarding the NY Twin Towers destruction.One question that I ask, myself, is why, to effectmaximum casualties, did ALL the bombings nottake place on deep level TUBE trains. Most ofthe tube lines - Central, Bakerloo, Northern andthe Piccadilly go through the West End and are so often crowded with tourists. Not only this but, being at such a deep level - 100ft plus - they would have been much harder to evacuate and rescue casualties from and, as there is much tighter clearance - only 6 inches - between the smaller tube rolling stock and the tunnel roof (hence the name tubes), the confined space would have concentrated the blast force as it indeed did on the Piccadilly Line approaching Russell Square. Whereas, in the much wider cut-&-cover tunnelsof the Circle, District & Metropolitan and CityLines, with parallel running tracks sharing thesame common tunnel and only 7 metres belowstreet level, blast force was more easily dissipatedand better rescue access gained.Thank goodness this didnt happen or the casualties would have been far, far greater in number.Whatever and however, sadly the victims still losttheir lives and, of those whose physical injuries mended, their minds never will, completely, and the broken hearts, of loved ones left behind, will ever remain broken.

With my thoughts and deepest sympathy to allinvolved in the atrocities of that dreadful day; in fact all who have died or been maimed needlessly in misplaced ideology or fanatical religious beliefs or fervour.Incidentally, my daughter was running early thatmorning so caught one train ahead of 204 and, as she was leaving Blackfriars station, all the barriers automatically flew open and the lights extinguished with the power surge caused by the near simultaneous blasts.A more detailed rsum of evidence put forward to support the 7/7/2005 bombings conspiracy theories can be viewed on this link below: Mark Honigsbaum on the conspiracy theories of 7/7 | UK news | The Guardianhttp://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/jun/27/july7.uksecurity

In thosedays it was known as the WI Market (and many people still call it this) but it subsequently adoptedthe Country Market banner, part of the nationwide cooperative social enterprise which boasts 300 branches from Penzance in Cornwall up to Ponteland in Northumberland and as far west as St Davids in Wales.On Friday 7th August, Aylsham Country Marketwill be celebrating its 40 year anniversary with aspecial morning from 8.30am-noon in the Town Hall featuring an array of tasters & special events, all open to the public. An Anniversary Cake willbe ceremoniously cut by one of the Markets founder members, while current members will enjoy a lunch after the Market has closed.On Friday 31st July, youngsters are being invitedto the Market to help make paper bunting whichwill be strung up in the Town Hall on 7th August. There will also be a fun quiz to take away and bring back with the answers, on the 7th with a lovely prize for one lucky winner.

Nowadays produce on offer at Aylsham CountryMarket goes far beyond the Victoria sponges and jars of jam that were the staple of 1970s. These are of course still available but in additionyou are likely to find quiches, steak & mushroompies, carrot cakes and a very recent addition

Brazilian dishes, alongside plants, flowers, vegetables and a wide selection of crafts, from greetings cards to knitted goods.One thing that hasnt changed is the commitment to quality, homemade and home produced.

Whether its a sausage roll, a piece of fudge, a knitted sweater, a bunch of fuchsias or a cabbage, customers can be assured that they are buying something thats been cooked, crafted or grown at home. If you havent been before, do pop along to Aylsham Town Hall on a Friday morning tofind out what the modern Country Market has to offer. You might want to have a cuppa and snack in its popular caf too.

Mundesley HospitalThe Hospitals chequered past has seen it emptyfor five years, but now Hope Community, has leased the building to turn it into a holistic centrefor wellbeing and will offer, arts, yoga & drama,as well as traditional NHS-funded clinical care, for mental health conditions including bi-polar and dementia.

Colour therapist Mark Wentworth has come on board as head of holistic therapies, and said he would like to see the refurbished centre set a model of care.

The exterior paintwork on the grade-two listedbuilding has been stripped back, and lead-based paint replaced. Inside walls have been paintedwith carefully chosen colours to enhance the healing process, with peaches, greens & pinks and each room has an en suite bathroom.Funded by a group of private investors, there will be space for about 38 patients.While the hospital will primarily treat people with different degrees of mental ill-health, its facilities, including an education centre, would be available for the public.In addition to arts & drama, the hospital will have care staff, including a full-time clinical director and psychiatrists.

The History of Mundesley HospitalThe Hospital was the first large Tuberculosis centre in England built specifically for open-airtreatment of the disease. The Norfolk coast wasselected as its air was thought to be extremely bracing and clear, with a large amount of sunshine and very small rainfall. As a private hospital, it could only offer treatmentto wealthy patients. The weekly charge of 5.5s, did not include personal laundry, alcohol, orextra nursing if required. For those who could manage it, participation inconvalescent activities was encouraged. A point was made of weighing all the food eatento prescribe the amount of the different food stuffsaccording to the condition of the patient and the exercise taken.

A golf course was established in 1901 which was designed as a form of gentle exercise for the patients of the sanatorium.In 1905 Dr Sydney Vere Pearson, a specialist in TB became the Medical Superintendent and hebuilt the business up with the help of increasing government support for sanatorium treatment and continued to run the sanatorium until after the WW II.

During 1923 a large extension was built on rightsouth east corner of the wooden building, and a smaller single storey extension on the east side.Dr. George Day became medical superintendentof the sanatorium in 1935, where he learnt the importance of morale and spirit for recovery and developed psychological insights that he put to good use in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the war, helping shell shocked soldiers to recover. At that time the sanatorium could accommodate80 patients. Treatment cost 5 guineas a week or 6 or 7 guineas for rooms of a higher quality.Day developed a therapeutic overhaul known locally as a Mundesley Special.A therapeutic overhaul is the reverse of the ordinary physical examination in that one is seeking good rather than evil things, gladtidings and not bad news. During World War II, Mundesley sanatorium temporarily moved to Cheshire, only returning to Gimingham after hostilities had ceased. The golf course was also reduced to nine holes when land was required for wartime farming.

In the late 1940s, huge advancements regardingthe treatment of TB and a potential cure made. In 1943 Albert Schatz discovered streptomycin, an antibiotic and the first cure for tuberculosis and sanatoria began to close. By the fifties, convalescent treatment for TB wasdeemed unnecessary and in 1957 the sanatoriumwas officially adopted by the NHS and became a convalescence and rehabilitation unit in 1960Day continued as medical director, with the aimto enable patients to discover, by increasing their activity, how well they could become so that theywent home full of confidence founded on actualexperience. The philosophy of his team was to help people to stop being patients. He strongly opposed keeping them in uncertainty and in the role of patient by unnecessary follow up orexhortations to be careful. He retired in 1965.July 1973 saw the erection of remedial treatmentblock. The physiotherapy department was built in 1975, then the rehabilitation unit in 1977 andthe construction of a sewerage pumping stationin 1979. In early 1980s, permission was grantedfor the construction of a physiotherapy unit to the west of the original building.At the time of its closure in 1992 it was used asa rehabilitation unit with facilities including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, remedial gymnastics and speech therapy.After falling into disrepair, the Sanatorium was purchased by Adapt Ltd and underwent a huge refurbishment in 1997 and re-opened as the Diana Princess of Wales Treatment Centre for Drug and Alcohol Problems. After a successful bid for the site and extensiveregional fund raising, the project proceeded. It took around 1 million & 34 weeks to refurbishthe site but due to a lack of funding, administratorswere called in during summer 2008 and the clinicwas closed in 2009. The centre was bought that year by homeopath Eveline Herzer but did not reopen and went back on the market the following summer with a 1.3m guide price.For further fascinating details and many more photographs go on-line: Mundesley Hospital

Footprints on the Sands of TimeA History of Worstead

Written by Peter Brice and illustrated by Stefan Ganther to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Worstead Festival.

The Story Behind The Book.Peter Brice, formerly the first Principal of Paston Sixth Form College, bought White Cottage in Worstead in 1999. Its fascinating deeds led him to delve into thehistory of the parish. In 2012 the Lottery-fundedSpinning a Yarn in Worstead Project (led by Stefan Ganther) joined with the Parish Council and the Parochial Church Council to promote Worsteads history. Four of us (Stefan Ganther, Ron Barrett, the late Rosemary Rix, and Peter Brice) created the Worstead Heritage Maps and Trails, unveiled by Norman Lamb MP at that years Worstead Festival. A book seemed the logical next step.About The BookPeter argues that Worstead was a more significantplace than it might now appear and its unsung history deserves to be much better known: its Saxon origins; the giving of its name to worstedcloth; the wealth from worsted-weaving that financed the cathedral-sized St Marys Church with its grand Perpendicular exterior and its amazing rood screen; the lost parochial Chapel of St Andrew; the role of Worstead men in the Great Revolt of 1381; the advent of Worstead asa market town on a par with Aylsham & North Walsham; the creation of the unique Baptist settle-ment at Meeting Hill; the role of farming in form-ing the modern landscape; and much more. Stefans lavish illustrations tell their own storyand encourage readers to investigate Worsteadsfine architectural heritage for themselves. The cover features a graffito from the floor of theringing chamber of St Marys: the artist drew round his shoe and wrote his initials JRW and 1848 within its outline. Who was JRW?Footprints on the Sands of Time is to be launchedat the Worstead Festival on Saturday & Sunday 25th & 26th July and goes on general sale on Monday 27th July at 9.95 from various local outlets including Jarrolds and from the Parish Council contact: [email protected] All the profits will be devoted to the charitable work of the Worstead Amenity Trust. Peter and Stefan are happy to talk to interested groups on the history of Worstead or to lead tours exploring the architecture of the village centre. Peter may be contacted on: 01263 479 391 or at: [email protected]

The Care Act Written by Miranda Marshall Director at Hayes + StorrThe Care Act came into effect on 1st April 2015. It is a major & important reform and will affect anyone living in England who has care needs now and in the future. The Wellbeing Principle is a new and important concept. It covers a wide range of factors including: personal dignity; physical, mental & emotional wellbeing; protection from abuse and neglect; accommodation; family, domestic & personal wellbeing. There is an attempt to recognise that different people have different needs rather than just considering which Local Authority (LA) service they will fit into. There is a move away from only providing residential (i.e. care home) and domiciliary (i.e. at home) care. There are a wide range of assessment methods now available. The important changes that you should know about are: The legal right to a Care Assessment. The LA must provide this to anyone who appears to needcare or support. This is regardless of their financesand even if they are paying for their own care. If someone is eligible for support, a Support Planwill be agreed and they will receive a Personal Budget. It is important to have an assessment asthis will have an impact on how much one ends up paying for care over a lifetime. It should help people to plan their care and ensure that they get the right support. New means-testing thresholds. The LA will arrange a financial assessment to decide what someone can afford to contribute towards their care costs.

The thresholds are 118,000 if in acare home and 27,000 if living in their own home. Below these thresholdsthe financial contributiondecreases on a sliding scale as assets get less. There is also the Minimum Income Guarantee to ensure that whatever is paidtowards care does not cause the persons income to fall below a certain level.

Carers have a right to an assessment of their needs. Anyone who provides unpaid care has a right to this as a carer. If the carer is eligible for support from the LA, a Support Plan will be agreed and the carer should receive a Personal Budget. Other changes will only come in from 1st April 2016 and these will be explained in a further issue. This article aims to supply general information, but it is not intended to constitute advice. Every effort is made to ensure that the law ref-erred to is correct at the date of publication and to avoid any statement which may mislead.

Doctors ExperiencesI was performing a complete physical, includingthe visual acuity test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began: Cover your right eye with your hand. He read the 20/20 line perfectly. Now your left. Again, a flawless read. Now both, I requested. There was silence. He couldnt even read the large E on the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what I had asked; he was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam.: Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester, MADuring a patients 2 week follow-up appointmentwith his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor,that he was having trouble with one of his medications. Which one? I asked.

The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now Im running out of places to put it! I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldnt see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.: Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA

While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked:How long have you been bed-ridden? After a look of complete confusion she answered: Why, not for about twenty years -- when my husband was alive.: Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR

The Best Fish & Chips

in Cromer

By Richard Barr

This is a true story. Only the names have been changed.

When Mabels husband David had a mild heart attack and was taken to a local hospital she feltcomfortable that he was in safe hands and wouldbe properly looked after especially as he had been admitted to the cardiac care unit.It was found that David had quite a serious heart condition and he was listed for bypass surgery at the local specialist hospital. While he was waiting to be transferred for by-pass surgery David unfortunately had 2 cardiac arrests on one day but on both occasions he wassuccessfully resuscitated because the crash teamwere able to attend to him immediately.After that he seemed to improve but the hospitalstaff wanted to make sure that if he had a further cardiac arrest there would be an immediate alert.He therefore had a telemetry device attached to him so that he could move around the ward and yet the staff would immediately be notified if he had another incident.A few days later (and for no apparent reason) thestaff removed the telemetry device and David wasleft unmonitored. The following day he was foundlifeless in his hospital bed. No one knows how long he had been left there (because he had not been monitored) but it could have been anything up to an hour. By the time staff realised what had happened tohim he had only a very weak pulse and resuscitation was unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead. Mabel was devastated.

They had been together for many years and werevery close. It was shattering to lose her husbandbut all the more so when she found out that he could have been saved if only the hospital had leftthe monitoring device attached. Mabel asked me to investigate her case.Initially the hospital admitted that they were negligent but at the same time they said that David would not have been successfully resuscitated even if they had reached him quickly. Therefore they refused to pay any compensation.This response was clearly not satisfactory and (with the support of an independent cardiology expert) I issued proceedings on behalf of Mabel against the hospital. Instead of putting their hands up and agreeing tocompensate Mabel the hospital actually went back on its word. They even denied that they were at fault in any way. Eventually under pressure of court proceedings the hospital belatedly agreed to pay compensationto Mabel.Most hospitals do wonderful work for their patients but every now and then something goes badly wrong which should not have done. The disappointing thing about Mabels case is that the hospital considerably added to her distress by changing their minds and denying liability, thus forcing her into starting court proceedings, a prospect which she found absolutely terrifying!The NHS complains about solicitors costs, but by forcing Mabel to go through the process of starting court proceedings, the costs in the case (which the NHS had to pay) were far greater than if they had agreed to settle the case in the first place.

Sometimes you should just not take no for an answer and I am happy to take cases all the way to a court hearing if they cant be sorted out in any other way.
