The Duke of Edinburgh transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital
 
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:..

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 02-03-2021 08:09 AM

...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.

They're waiting to announce it til after Oprah, so that they can say he saw Meghan and Haz saying mean things about the queen and immediately lost the will to live, and simply stopped.

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?

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.
