All too common these days. Hopefully she uses this as a platform to raise awareness for 15.24 meter parasites.
I mean, that's about the only thing that could legitimately require a 10-14-day hospital stay.
I have a hunch that royals are welcome to stay in the hospital, and pampered there, for much longer than us American plebes. But maybe a Brit who uses private healthcare services across the pond can weigh in.
This is so stupid. Royals can, and have, set up entire hospital suites in their giant palaces and castles. The only reason she's in that long, assuming they're not lying, is because she needs ICU access.
Well sure but in terms of staying after the original crisis I bet that she will stay longer than your typical American could, since we tend to be shooed out of hospitals as soon as possible due to insurance.
Have you ever had a lengthy hospital stay? It's not a hotel. It's uncomfortable, people are constantly waking you, the food is bad, you are at a huge risk for infection. There isn't some secret tier of nice hospital that gets rich people out of this, and even if there was it would be for plastic surgery, not bowel stuff which this clinic specializes in.
Um, yes, yes there is a not so secret tier of nice hospital that gets rich people out of all of that stuff. Sure, they might wake someone for medical reasons to check vitals but I’m sure if Jeff Bezos is in the hospital those checks are all coordinated and done more thoughtfully than the average person.
Ok but the London Clinic 1) isn't that and 2) she could easily have this setup at home.
None of us really knows what is going on, but I (a different PP) am just saying that a non-wealthy American can’t estimate the appropriate length of a hospital stay for a literal princess based on experience in an American hospital using regular old American health insurance. My hospital stay was, all things considered, pretty good (I didn’t have to share a room!) but there is no way I got princess treatment.
Also, I had another abdominal surgery that required just a 5 day stay, and we had our kids stay at their grandparents house because I couldn’t have them messing with my stomach. It takes so long to recover from major abdominal surgery and being with my kids wasn’t a priority because I didn’t want to have to re-start the healing process. Hopefully Kate is getting something laparoscopic though.
