  • What A Waste Of Money

    From a report and Media DM


    135,000 operations on the day, at a cost of £400 million in lost theatre time.

    A third of these are for potentially avoidable clinical reasons, including patients unprepared for surgery or with unaddressed co-morbidities.

    Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) wants the lists to be renamed as preparation list as part of thier study :
    ‘Blueprint for NHS efficiency’

    Many drain the NHS and hinder its effecincies and performance through excessiveness, obiesty, smoking , drugs ,drink ,it seems a tad unfair andvsad when one loses a relative or friend who lead healthy lives or care is effected in this way .

      Let me translate.

      If you don't look after yourself perfectly in every way and need health care , its your own fault and you shouldn't be making a nuisance of yourself on the NHS.

            Doesn't that make most sports injuries untreatable as there is no need to be playing sport

            We'd end up only treating natural disease and accidents but not the perpetrator of say a road traffic accident??

              Absolutely, that's why LOM is being utterly daft again.

                What if a fat person in a car crash that wasn’t their fault gets a heart attack?

                It’s the sort of thing that really makes you think….

                  Were they wearing a seat belt 🤔 so many questions - by the time you fill in the eligibility checklist most will have passed on

                    If you look after your body and health the best way you can. Dont smoke, dont eat rubbish food, do some exercise etc, then when something bad does happen to you - you will have a fighting chance of surviving it.
                    Think of all the NHS hours saved - that could then be used on people who have had an accident, genetic disease, OAP's etc.

                    ps - dont forget to tax all the food manufacturers adding sugar to their products - to cover the cost of the damage people are doing to their bodies.

                        Strange that it’s two posters whose messages on here tend to place them on the libertarian right who appear to be in favour of some sort of ban on who can be treated by the NHS.

                          You wouldn't use them as much when you are young, but if you live a long enough life everything starts to fall apart from wear and tear,
                          so you may end up costing the NHS more than the fat lazy greedy bastards that drink, smoke, eat shit, and die young?

                          If I am sensible can I have the extra 10 years being 20 again not going from 85 to 95, when everything is worn out?

                            So basically if you lead a healthy lifestyle you can get treatment and live longer. Does that mean you'll also get all the social care funded for you, when you're elderly and can no longer look after yourself?
