Lisa, yes I have. I first went into hospital when i was 5, 68 years ago. My second time was 15 months ago when .I had septicaemia. I was so ill I did not know where i was for an hour or two . They did'nt connect me to a drip but injected me direct every 4hours night and day for 3 days. This started me on the way to a phobia but the finishing touch came when one of the doctors turned round to answer a question and said 'My man you were within 20 minutes of dying when you came in.' My daughter who had been an SRN went mad but thedamage had been done , I now have the biggest phobia of all time. Rupert Bear
