Obese Patients Face Surgery Ban
This is an excellent idea IMO and should have happened years agoIf people can't look after their own bodies, they shouldn't expect others to look after it for them.

Re: Obese Patients Face Surgery Ban
The start of the whittling down of who gets free treatment on the NHS, whether they've already paid for it or not. Who's next - smokers, drinkers, self-harmers of any description, own fault accident victims, careless drivers? At least we elders are fairly safe. Most of us actually vote for the bastards who are robbing us blind.

Re: Obese Patients Face Surgery Ban
Looks like the ban applies to smokers too ... even thin smokers.I'm straddled with a foot in both camps here.
I can't argue with it. Makes sense in a way and is fairer to people who've tried to look after themselves. Both smokers and fatties should know better and take some responsibility for their own bodies.
But ...
If I'm to be penalised so should drinkers .. so should druggies .. so should anyone who suffers a sports injury .. and if we're into self-harming shouldn't attempted suicides just be hoisted straight out of the ambulance and wheeled down to the morgue as the biggest offenders.

I wouldn't say the elderly are safer though. Old age and it's unavoidable associated ailments will probably be a sin soon.
