The Old Shoulder
‘HOIST the white bandage, the battle of Margarets Shoulder is over.
| Of all the joints, in all the world |
The poster patient for the Tories assault on Labours record on the NHS is now on the mend after Mrs Dixon was given a replacement shoulder during a two-and-a-half hour procedure at Warrington General Hospital.
The Times says the operation – in which the Mrs Dixon had only a 30:70 chance of survival because of problems with her lungs, kidneys and heart – was a success.
Its good news, indeed. The family are ecstatic, says her daughter Lindsay Dixon. We are so relieved.
And who wouldnt be – the poor woman has to never see another politician as long as she lives.
Which leaves the Tories to look for a new cause celebre – and the Labour party to get down on its hands and knees and pray that Mrs Dixon doesnt now fall victim to the potentially deadly MRSA superbug…
Paul Sorene is the Anorak’
