Wounded Soldiers at Risk in Brit Hospitals

(Birmingham, England) The socialized health care system in the United Kingdom has been criticized for many things but this is the first I've heard that they cannot protect wounded British soldiers from Muslim radicals.

From Telegraph.co.uk:

A paratrooper wounded in Afghanistan was threatened by a Muslim visitor to the British hospital where he is recovering.

Seriously wounded soldiers have complained that they are worried about their safety after being left on wards that are open to the public at Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham.

On one occasion a member of the Parachute Regiment, still dressed in his combat uniform after being evacuated from Afghanistan, was accosted by a Muslim over the British involvement in the country.

"You have been killing my Muslim brothers in Afghanistan," the man said during a tirade.

Because the soldier was badly injured and could not defend himself, he was very worried for his safety, sources told The Daily Telegraph.

Arguably, the most serious indictment of the British National Health Service (NHS) is the following:

Soldiers on operations say they would rather receive a more serious injury and go to the top American military hospital in Ramstein, Germany, than end up in a NHS hospital.

Imagine the ridiculous scenario of a Brit soldier saying, "Please, shoot me again. I don't want to go to the NHS."
