Wow, good that you thought of getting it checked. >Turns out cat bites can be very nasty - I since spoke to a nurse who told me she knew someone who lost a leg to a domestic cat bite. Same is the case with leopard or other big cat bites, I've read. Used to read books by Jim Corbett (the famous hunter of man-eater tigers (and leopards)), and similar, as a kid; that may be where I read about it. I guess the reason is that the food (meat) they eat sticks some in their teeth and decomposes and grows bacteria, which infect people when they are bitten. In fact I read that even if the big cat does not kill the person, there are high chances of dying from infection from the bite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Corbett Update: Just saw this from the link above, the story of how Corbett hunted and killed a very large tiger, the Bachelor of Powalgarh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Powalgarh |

I guess its an advantage of systems like the NHS - the only concern I had about money was what the car park bill would be (I had parked in the first car park I saw). Turns out that the hospital in question has free parking so I didn't even have to pay for that.
Bandwidth on the free wifi was pretty good as well!
