Good on him.The Hammersmith is an NHS hospital so why should it be allowing people to jump the queue just because they can pay?They all do it of course as "income generation"and it's about time it was stopped.

OK, fair play, I'd probably do the same thing. But on the other hand, he had it done at an NHS hospital, which puts everyone ahead of him in the queue back a step. So, what happens if tomorrow, someone who'd more of a sense of fairness or, I don't know, honesty and who chose to wait , and would have got his slot, drops dead of a heart attack because he's jumped the queue?
