Well Keef - I don't really go to the family room, and I would probably not try comparing Kings to St Thomas's as I have no knowledge of St Thomas's - but after last week if someone asked me where I would want to be if something went so wrong that someones life was at risk I would not want to be anywhere other than Kings - our local hospital. I have not read the thread - but if anyone is considering a private hospital for childbirth, ahead of Kings, then I'd say that whilst private hospital wards are nicely set up and the care is attentive, childbirth is a very risky business and if something goes really wrong, you would possibly find yourself on an ambulance to Kings pdq. I would not want to take that risk.
