Joys of Socialized Health Care: UK's NHS Reports Pest Infestations

After reading this, Dr. Minerva's best medical advice is: "Don't get sick ever."

Blurb:
Nearly 20,000 cases of pest infestations in NHS hospitals have been recorded over the past two years, the Conservatives have said.

Mice, rats, squirrels, bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, ants, flies, silverfish and even foxes have all been reported by hospitals responding to Conservative freedom of information requests.

Responses from 127 trusts show that 70 per cent had to call out pest controllers 50 or more times between January 2006 and March 2008.

Infestations of FOXES????
