The Duke of Edinburgh transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital

[bots]

The Duke of Edinburgh has been transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital to treat an infection - after 13 nights at another London hospital, Buckingham Palace has said.

Doctors treating Prince Philip, 99, will also undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition, the palace said.

The duke is responding to treatment and "remains comfortable", the palace said.

He is expected to remain in hospital until at least the end of the week.

Philip, who turns 100 in June, was taken to King Edward VII's hospital in London on 16 February as a precaution after feeling unwell.

I would imagine he might be arranging his demise on the 7th to overshadow the event :laugh:

Just seen the trailer for the Oprah interview, if it's as sensational as the edit is claiming, the timing could not have been worse for them from a PR point of view

...99yrs old and an infection that it’s being found difficult to get in top of and control is such a worry...we know that he’ll be getting the best care that anyone could have but when the body ages and deteriorates etc...it doesn’t matter how privileged the life...:sad:..

[thesheriff443]

He has worked tirelessly for this country alongside the queen for nearly his whole adult life and deserves to be alive for a lot longer.

[user104658]

He has worked tirelessly for this country alongside the queen for nearly his whole adult life and deserves to be alive for a lot longer."deserves to be alive for a lot longer"? He's nearly 100 years old :think:

Now I'm absolutely not saying that he "deserves" to die or that his family won't miss him when he's gone but, let's be realistic in terms of human lifespan, any Christmas you live to see past 80 is a bonus round and an extra two decades is pretty good going.

I don't mean to sound callous but I do sometimes think we have a weird relationship with death in the west (in terms of struggling to accept it as part of life). Really any death from "old age" should be appreciated for what it is. Sadly, many people don't get close to a full life.

[Ammi]

...I was strangely reading some stuff about death a little while ago and how some cultures mourn/grieve the death of, as we do ...while other cultures celebrate the life of...it’s a very thought provoking thing to think about...

Yeah like I said he's nearly 100 , most people don't even make it past 90 .

I think hes dead already, I saw a chinook yesterday.

I reckon it was flying his body home and the ambulance was a ruse.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but the top hat in the middle of the umbrellas was just so strange, who was wearing that or are we meant to believe Pip was wheeled into the ambulance in a Top Hat :laugh:

Her gave up his own career for his wife, then worked with her until he retired in his nineties.

But hey, he's old... let him die. Right? It's Tibb. Maybe someone had him on the deathlist?

[Vicky.]

I hope he recovers, but I kind of agree that 100 is a very good life really. Thats not to say he shouldn't have had that of course, but 100 is very good innings in reality.

(Side note - I doubt anyone has him on the deathlist. He wouldnt be worth any points)

Yeah, thanks for that. Speaks volumes. I'm thinking of putting someone's grandmother on it next year, just for a laugh. Or maybe another forum member!

I've seen so much disrespect about death on TiBB lately. Maybe we can have a poll on what age is okay for someone to die so that people can have a laugh about it. I mean, at what age does it stop being sad for a family?

It's all hilarious.

I don't think it's about letting him die or wanting him to die, really just the acceptance that at 90+ "incoming death" starts to become an inevitability. And I do think as a culture we have a bit of a fear of it/aversion to it as part of life.

Again yes its always sad for a family to lose someone, but on a larger scale, I feel like there's something to be celebrated in simply getting as far as 99. Like... He did it. He made it to the end of the "game of life", as far as can reasonably be expected. It is still sad - but it's not a life cut short.


That said I did mount a rather vocal opposition to the death list game this year, which didn't go down very well to be honest. I got in twouble for listing all of a member's family :shrug:. I guess thinking about what I said above... The absolute worst part of that "game" is that a full life lived out isn't worth many points, and the "biggest scores" come into play for lives that have ended before you would expect. Lives cut shorter = more points. It is just gross.

[GoldHeart]

I don't understand what is expected of a man who's 100 nearly in age :conf:. Nobody is wishing him bad, but we all know he's getting on.

And I never get involved in the deathlist on here either. As regardless of ill health or age,it will always be morbid .

[rusticgal]

When someone is dead and gone and they have had a good long life...which to me is 85 upwards, its fine to speak those words. However when you are still breathing and have your wits about you...and mentally you feel could go on for a few more.... its the last thing you want to read or hear.

[Vicky.]

Well regardless of the age of the person who dies, their family and friends will find it too early, or a big shock, or really sad, or all of the above. It never stops getting sad for family, as far as I know. But talking about celeb deaths, and family deaths...is kind of a different thing.

I wouldnt be too arsed about being on the deathlist either thinking about it (not something i have ever considered until this post) though I know that was not the point of your reply..just was a weird thing to think through there!

But yeah, comparing deaths of loved ones, to deaths of largely strangers..is not really a fair comparison..especially 100 year old celeb strangers. Its not really like saying 'oh, your gran had good innings, chin up' or something D:

...it’s such good news that Philip’s procedure went well ..:love:..and hopefully his recovery will be equally as successful and what it’s hoped to be by his medical team...

It is better news.
He does come across as a very determined character.
With the best around him medically he could have, all hopefully will go well from now.

[Cherie]

That is good news :love:

...yeah, he does seem very strong willed and that’s not to be underestimated, Joey...I’m feeling as well, that with a 99yr old...?...his medical team wouldn’t have performed the procedure or considered it even, if they weren’t quite hopeful...?...that’s what I’m hoping, anyway...

[AnnieK]

At 99 you're more at risk from the anesthesia than the actual procedure so they must have been confident he was strong enough to get through it. Hope he has a good recovery. :love:

[bots]

things do seem more optimistic now. The palace seem to be very careful in what info they are giving out, more so than usual

[Ammi]

...that’s the best cardiac care hospital, isn’t it...?...I guess they were possibly waiting for his infection to be treated at the previous hospital so that he was well enough to be transferred for the procedure...

[Ammi]

...so hopefully his recovery will be relatively speedy now...not plain sailing as such because he’s still very vulnerable with health conditions and age...I don’t reckon he’ll do much sailing anymore...

[arista]

He has just left the Hospital
Hidden by a Screen.

Great news. Hope he reaches the milestone of his 100th without any more health scares....and beyond of course. :love:

I hope they put some extra security on him in case Meghan says something mean on telly :worry:

He looks like a Victorian ghost

[joeysteele]

He is an incredible man with incredible willpower.
Really admirable.

Of course he's frail, he'll have had endless tests done, that alone takes a lot out of you.
Then he's had a procedure done too.

4 weeks in hospital and he's only 3 months off being 100 years old.

It's really heartening to see him returning home at last.
So now I hope his fuller recovery can take place at a pace suited to him.
