Hospital Acquired Infections? Bring it on!

Via the BBC:

Actress Leslie Ash has won a record £5m compensation payout after contracting a hospital-acquired infection.

You what? £5m fricking million for getting a virus and having to walk with a stick? Frig me rigid, where can I get me one of those hospital acquired infections?

The payment… includes compensation for money she would have earned if she had carried on working.

Ah, maybe not then. I rather doubt that I would get £5m. In fact, I think £3.50 in compensation would be a push…
