I was relieved to see that a doctor actually considered the impact on his other patients of having a violent murderer on the ward with them and has decided that the risk assessment shows that it is not appropriate to continue.

There could be an eye on the bottom line, he is part of a private practice and that one patient could be a problem for all the other patients so the impact on the cash flow could be significant.

Interestingly, the patient has been 'living as a woman' for more than two years (they don't specify how they have achieved that) but blames their crimes (horrendous murder) on the fact that they are a woman trapped in a man's body. They seem to have had a terrible childhood, for which I have every sympathy, but I think they are misguided in blaming it on their transness.

Excellent decision making by the surgeon although as suggested it's one made with an eye on the bottom line. The person seeking the surgery shows the level of consideration for others that we've come to expect from individuals in this position.

at one eye on the bottom line.

I see no one at the Nuffield does phalloplasty. www.nuffieldhealth.com/hospitals/brighton/gender-affirmation-faqs
