UK Daily Mail "A former NHS director died after waiting for nine months for an operation - at her own hospital.
"Margaret Hutchon, a former mayor, had been waiting since last June for a follow-up stomach operation at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
But her appointments to go under the knife were cancelled four times and she barely regained consciousness after finally having surgery.
"Her devastated husband, Jim, is now demanding answers from Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust..."

What is the NHS? "The four publicly funded healthcare systems in the countries of the United Kingdom, and the overall system, make up the National Health Service (NHS).
"The systems are primarily funded through central taxation. The services provide a comprehensive range of health services, the vast majority of which are free at the point of use for residents of the United Kingdom. The four systems are quite independent, and operate under different management, rules, and political authority."
Does this seem familiar to you? Government bureaucrats administering what medical professionals used to do and should be doing.
I was curious about this Shakespearean phrase in the story above: hoist by one's own petard;
(idiomatic) To be hurt, or destroyed by one's own plot or device, of one's own doing which one intended for another; to be "blown up by one's own bomb".

He has no one to blame but himself; he was hoisted by his own petard.
