But people who leave operating room and treatment centres sitting idle may think twice if they knew it might cost them. It only takes a phone call to cancel or postpone. I know a man in my local who had a heart c'warning' as the doctors put it. He was scheduled for surgery but was overweight so was given a special diet regime and rescheduled. He has now gone 3 times and been sent away because he hasn't lost an ounce.To compound it he is a coach driver so now cannot work and is claiming lots of benefits which if he had lost weight as asked would not be a continuing burden on our taxes.
I think these are the kind of people that need to be addressed.
But I don't intend to get into a slanging match with some on here, (I don't mean you) they are just my thoughts on the matter.
This is meant to reply to both TOBW and The half a Bee, but I don't know how to add 2 quotes lol
