Botched tummy tuck p**s boiler
Discussion
Just seen this on ITV local, done a search on a few terms, so forgive me if this turns out to be a repost!
Woman trys to get her flabby stomach surgery on the NHS, they say no, so she checks out going abroad for it. That's fine, no problem for us. Cheaper for her, less load on the NHS, everyone's happy.
Going to Prague, she paid 30% of the price of having it done it in the UK and now it's bodged, she can't get her money back and will now claiming to have it done on the NHS.
The phrase "you pay your money and take your chance" comes to mind! Local news is now pondering if it's right for the NHS to pay to fix it. No f
ing way!!!
So now we have to pay for it. Bloody great. As if there weren't kids with cancer or elderly people cold in their homes through the winter of that massive national debt to pay back! Nahhh, what's another £10k??
1/10 I know, but still, FFS.

I think it's so wrong that people can get cosmetic sergery on the NHS.
My missus has a mate from childhood that IMO is scum - fat, lazy, neither her or her man have worked for about 9 years, whilst they've bred 4 children on our bill. It's OK tho, he suppliments the vast beneifits they claim with a career in stolen laptops.
Last year, she had a boob job, tummy malarky, and even had her bits "prettyfied" all gratis.
Made me seethe that did!

Are you opposed to people receiving NHS treatment for problems that are a result of other risky activities such as skateboarding, fishing and drinking? If not, then what is the distinction between those activities and having cosmetic surgery?
You don't choose to fall of skateboard, she made a conscious choice to have that done!AngryS3Owner said:

Did she choose for her operation in Prague to be bodged? No, she knew it was a risk, just the same as when you go skateboarding you know there is a risk of falling off and braking your arm. What's the difference?Edited by SamHH on Wednesday 10th December 23:23

No, injuries sustained during these risky activities should be "repaired" as best as possible to prevent further infection/damage. If the patient feels more is neccessary, feel free to cough up.Free cosmetic surgery for everyone!
boob job darling? "Love, just say you feel bad about yourself because of your 34A's" New nose job? No worries! All sorted. Why don't they take the change out of our penny jars while they're at it.Part of this whole "someone else can pay for that" culture. w

No. If i fall off my skateboard, god forbid, and mame myself i'd like to think the nhs would put me right.
I wouldn't expect them do me a nose job and tummy tuck cos i was feeling a bit self conscious though. I don't actually think they would though. Anyone know for sure what you can get done and the qualifying criteria?

I didn't see the program so I don't know what the problem that resulted from her operation was. If it was just that it didn't make her appearance any more satisfactory and yet she is now going to be given NHS treatment (you didn't say if she is), then I see your point. If it was that it hideously deformed her or caused her to become infected, then I don't have a problem with her being treated. IMO, NHS treatment should be free to anyone who needs it, regardless of the reasons that cause them to need it.SamHH said:

Yes i agree with most of it, but if your "need" now is caused by your earlier "want" what then?
Same thing should apply IMO: if you need the treatment, you get it, no matter what caused you to need it. The only bit that is difficult to judge is how bad a disfigurement has to be before treatment of it changes from a want to a need. I didn't see the lady we're talking about, so I can't comment on that.

Woman goes abroad for self gratifying operation after NHS say no, then wants NHS to fix it?
If it's life threatening then yes help her, but if it's just that she now looks worse, who gives a s
t, go back to Prague and have it fixed there.JJCW said:

Yes I do believe what I said otherwise I would not have said it. As I stated, I believe that if a person needs a treatment, the NHS should provide it, regardless of what caused them to need that treatment. If you disagree, then how do you feel about someone who's had a fry-up and forty cigarettes every day for the last twenty years being given treatment for their heart disease? They knew it was risky, stupid even, and did it for reasons of self-gratification, so should they have to pay for treatment?Woman goes abroad for self gratifying operation after NHS say no, then wants NHS to fix it?
