I totally understand being happy when people actually listen and treatment works. I also know the frustration when people don't listen and their health is put in jeopardy.

When you said that there were financial reasons why the person wants to be discharged it made me think of the differences our countries systems.

• In your country treatment is expensive so people want to leave and put their health at risk.

• In my country hospital visits are free so many people refuse to care for themselves and end up in the hospital taking up valuable space from people who really need it and DO try hard to look after themselves.

Different situations but same frustration.

Hope you enjoy your days off.
