abstract: • Oh, where will it all end? Cash-strapped NHS hospitals and trusts are apparently coming up with ever more ingenious ways of making money. A Danish nurse, over here for the recent Euroquan conference, was charged £100 for a study visit around Stanmore Hospital, the national bone place. Good to know that in these days of European unity we still manage to rip off the foreigners. One can only hope the money will go to a good cause, like re-building the crumbling ruin.
