Lifestyle Choices impacting on the NHS -Boiling my piss!!!!

My dad had an op after falling over at home. 16 pins in his shoulder, and he will never lift his arm above his head again.

My DH spent 6 weeks in a 22 bed ortho trauma ward. There were 2 teenagers who were there on account of doing stupid teenager stuff. There was DH in his thirties, who got put in a corner with the two young ones.

Almost everyone else there was 70+.

OP you didn’t include all the weekend DIYs falling off stepladders, hitting themselves with hammers, cutting themselves with sharp implements and power toolls, eye injuries from not wearing safety goggles etc (Lighthearted, but these things do happen)

Wow, nice to know NHS staff have such a high amount of respect for the public....to describe their deceased bodies in such a manner ! 🙄

But hang on, these are the same group of people who were rehearsing dance videos on Tik Tok while claiming to be "overwhelmed" a couple of years back and relishing in the hero-worshipping and freebies that gullible businesses provided as we were all forced to stay stuck at home to "protect the NHS". Suddenly, I'm not surprised at the blatant disregard for patients.

Yet they rely on paramedics on motorcycles, and the amazing volunteers who do blood bank runs etc.

NHS staff also ride motorcycles.

Your husband is the same! 5 a side was a choice and he's taking a bed up!

Did you even read your own post?

Donor cycles

Oh yes, we absolutely must charge non-nationals for healthcare, I thought this was already the case. If I went to Spain, it's the law that I must have insurance in case I become ill or injure myself. Our country gives so much away to other nations and their people and then wonders why the funds are supposedly low.

For such a small island, I think England has done it's bit of charity towards other nations. We've gone above and beyond.

Well if we want people to pay how about we make it mandatory that tourists have health insurance for unexpected illnesses AND that hospitals actually bother to follow through and collect. Because loads don’t, on both counts.

I would also start charging people who have gone abroad for cheap and unnecessary surgery that hasn’t worked but expect the NHS to fix it for free.

But if you want to pick the low hanging fruit then go ahead, after all , whats wrong with a few people lying in the street with broken legs, coughing and spreading communicable diseases, giving birth to babies in public toilets?

Where would it end though? There has already been debate about whether addictions should be treated on NHS, smokers, people on a night out who drink themselves silly and then get an injury shouldn’t be treated. It was decided to be unethical to discriminate like this.

Bear in mind, if your policy was to become true it would have knock on effect on leisure industries and motorcycle/bicycle manufacturers as noone would buy if related injuries were non NHS treatable.

Personally though, sadly I think there will be some kind of ‘personal accountability tier’ perhaps in the future given the continuing struggling funding needs of the NHS.

Lets ban ladders and cars

I think tax Netflix and also highly interesting novels, anything that keeps people watching or reading hours past their bedtime. We know what a killer fatigue is, after all.

Everyone home, no more hobbies, or living life. Seriously, sitting doing nothing has NO health benefits whatsoever, in fact it would lead to so many health problems. is school out early today?

This is why I have private health cover, so nobody can tell me off for doing things that I enjoy.

I'd rather die at 50 doing something I enjoy than be laid there at 95 thinking "didn't really make the most of that life did I"

That is not true.

Decisions as to medical treatment are made in the child's best interests. Normally, this accords with the parents' wishes, as most parents will be guided by medical advice, but hospitals can and do seek court orders to override parents' wishes if doctors believe it to be in the child's interests.

Children are neither legally nor medically treated as extensions of their parents. They have separate personhood in their own right. And parents have responsibilities primarily rather than rights - any parental "rights" they do have are given to allow them to meet their responsibilities to their children.

Blindingly obvious, I agree. Probably bored of all the fat-shaming threads recently.

What a ridiculous post...everyone should make for the safety of their sofa then, and avoid physical activity 🤣

Oh. It wasn't obvious from her OP - she might just be very dim.
So, why post the tongue in cheek OP? To sit back and watch the predictable replies? And she does the same on other threads?
Why?

Fgs, so all those pesky people with physical hobbies, making sure their cardiovascular risk is optimal by exercising.

Bet you don't like the smokers. You'd have a fit of apoplectic rage if you visited a vascular ward.

Sorry but it’s really obvious that’s what she’s doing.

Then why can't the child have any NHS treatment without the consent of the parent?

To be clear this is not a genuine suggestion I'm making, but your retort is flawed.

All this suggests is that men need to get better at their hobbies. 😂
