I haven’t been to Scotland in years but when I was the medical care was very 1950-ish.
Big, big bore needles and more medicating than fixing.
I would hope if she was in the military that they would have gotten her to an American military hospital.
5 Days is a long time to work on something.
Medical care in Scotland has been modern for years. Certainly not 1950’s.
I am 40 years old, so have good and long experience of Scots care and the NHS.
