[Margaret Pilkington]

Our local hospital does no incineration of clinical waste.

It was an ill conceived thread, but it was generated by sensationalist media hype.(remember that the media only want to sell papers and the celebs only want to be noticed and be in the public eye - it doesn't really matter to them what it is about)

It would be good if next time you are tempted to post along similar lines that perhaps you ask questions(e.g Have you ever had an experience like this?) and phrase your posts a bit more sensitively(ask yourself if you or a relative of yours were in this situation - how would you feel?)
However, it takes strength to come on here and admit your errors...and apologise.
Well done on that count.
