..I've always had great faith in the NHS until a few things recently which seem all wrong to me and I do have every respect for people who work in it because decisions about spending etc are nothing to do with them...on topic with this story though, I do know someone who had to have surgery and she just jokingly said to the consultant..'oh, you couldn't give me a tummy tuck while you're doing it..'..it really was just a jokey remark but he said, yes we could do that actually and he did without any sort of other criteria for these things being met or even discussing diet lifestyles with her..anyway, within a very short time, she had exceeded her previous weight and the whole thing seemed pointless....very limited and precious funds are not always thought out carefully as to best usage....
