| 1110052 | 2010-06-15 05:29:00 | I'd join the bash a fatty camp in a flash. Mrs T just had a spinal nerve block to treat constant leg and hip pain at a 10++ out of 10 level. Cost us $1000 because she couldn't get it done at the hospital. Apparently the pain clinic is full of obese prlcks who use up all the extra long needles or something like that. We were told she wouldn't get a look in until it was 50/10, by which time she probably would have gnawed her own leg off, then she's be put on a waiting list for crutches I guess, until she wore her arms down to the elbows dragging herself around. Minty?? I'll say I'm minty, :mad: it wasn't the money, it was the prioritising of lazy indolent slobs who only want to drag themselves to the pub. Next time I see one sitting in a wheelchair and smoking underneath the "no smoking anywhere on site" outside the entrance I swear I'll let the brake off and give them a good shove to help them on their way. I've got a relative on the highest dose of morphine they can give for hip pain and still it reduces him to tears, he's in and out of hospital for extra supervised medication, but he can't get up the list. On the positive side, Mrs T's injection worked, the nerves were properly blocked, and she woke this morning to her first pain-free day in decades. :thumbs: I hope it lasts. Billy |

Its made my day |

| 1110054 | 2010-06-15 06:55:00 | Glad to hear Mrs T got some relief but agree that it should not have had to be at your expense. What if you didn't have $1000? In fairness, it is not only fatties who keep deserving people out of hospital or from receiving treatment. To be a philistine, rugby players at all levels place a huge demand on health services, as do boy racers, Saturday (and any other) night drunks, and others who, because of their lifestyle choice, continue to harm themselves and others. Meanwhile, those of us who are battling the effects of aging or sickness or who have become the victim of someone else's lifestyle choice are deprived of the help needed to continue living a productive life. Or are prioritized so far down a waiting list that treatment when it does arrive has to be 10x more extensive to repair the damage done while waiting. So yes, I will 'bash a fatty' and anyone else who gratuitously uses up our health resources to the point where the deserving can't get treatment to keep them productive. Oh, and it might be a good idea if those who choose to play sports which have a high risk of injury (overeating?) be forced to carry health insurance so that they can go on a waiting list for private treatment and leave the public facilities available for those who have paid for them via their taxes. |

| 1110059 | 2010-06-15 09:44:00 | There were very few fat people around, let alone morbidly obese during the war in the UK. Wartime rations kept weight in check, yet people on the whole were healthier then, than they had ever been. Just look at wartime photos, neither were there any fat kids at school.:punk Nah, Lucas stoves meant raw food (just like Lucas fridges gave them warm beer) ; it is hard to get really fat on raw tripe. ;) |
