A former neighbour, native of Germany, recently rengurned to her home country. Unfortunately she fell ill and spent quite some time on hospital. Whilst there she suffered MRSA, C-Deff, and food poisoning. This was in Dusseldorf's top hospital. By the end of it, she was begging to be sent back to the UK.
