Why are you talking about pain though? You don't get compensation for the pain, but for loss of earnings.
I think it's also worth pointing out that this was an out-of-court settlement and thus, if this had gone to court, she probably would have got more - which certainly implies that her lost earning potential is much in excess of £5 million.
Thats lame..
What if a dustbin man gets hit by a car?
This isnt America..
Also, its not as if they put it into her on purpose
What a lovely attitude, I hope no industrial negligance comes your way...
She runs a successful bar/restaurant in Clapham but agree that she's unlikely to work as an actress again.
Hmmm, either you have MRSA of the brain or you don't understand the seriousness of contracting MRSA from a dirty hospital ward! For your sake I'm hoping it's the latter!

No, but they have admitted to not doing things correctly, which is nearly the same thing.
If I run you over because I'm wearing a blindfold, is it different from deliberately running you over?

1) If she was a scrubber from a council home would she have got the same payout ?
2) Her hubby is known to have beaten her up in past.
3) I dont care about anything to do with any Celebs really.

1) most compensation is based on lost earnings etc as far as I'm aware so no I doubt she would've got the same payout.
2)where she sustained the original injury is completely irrelevant though.
3) If you don't care then don't post in a thread about them.
MRSA can have between no symptoms at all and pneumonia or toxic shock syndrome. Many people that contract MRSA actually walk in to hospital with it - it can hibernate for years and years before presenting any symptoms, only agitated by some sort of body trauma, such as an operation.
There's an awful lot of misinformation about MRSA. I don't doubt that it was awful for her though, nor do I doubt that the award is fair.
What's industrial negligence? Excuse my ignorance.
Probabaly a bad 'attitude' but things like that make me unhappy to say the least.
Yep. Don't have a clue what it is - but what happened to the days of 'its happens, it happens'? Can you imagine the scale of cleaning required? its not like the cleaners (probabaly) will just not do it effectivley.. last time I went there were particulary pedantic health restrictions, warnings and equipment imposed.
ps. edited the first bit out

I think he means professional negligence
If you would have earned the £5mill should you not have lost the limb, yes you would get that much compo.Wouldn't be £5 fricking million though would it
1. She deserves to die because the NHS gave her MRSA? Nice. Best cross your fingers next time you're in for an operation, hope that people don't wish for you to die
2. She wouldn't have taken it from the NHS, they are insured against this kind of thing. Of course, if they didn't make mistakes they wouldn't need to be.
3. Stop reading the Daily Mail, it is doing you no good at all.
4. The NHS admitted liability - hence the payout. If they hadn't made a mistake then there wouldn't have been any cash. Should she have to just deal with the fact that she is in constant pain and can't work any more? No, she shouldn't.
5. It is nothing like that. Stop overreacting you look foolish.
Just in case you didn't see it in time, the article originally said something along the lines of "Leslie Ash was admitted to hospital after breaking two ribs by falling off her bed onto a table during a love-making session with her husband, Lee Chapman."
It also had a lot more "I'm delighted" quotes.
What a ridiculous amount.
So if Richard Branson falls ill whilst he's in hospital, should the hospital give him billions in compensation. Hell no.
So how many operations are now going to have to be cancelled to pay her off.

It's not fallen ill, it's made ill due to bad working practices (ie avoidable).
That's a rather different issue.
