What about hospitals having to reinforce floors in operating theatres...Have cranes and winches, specialised teams, extra wide beds and wheelchairs, take the sides off buildings to remove them?

You are most wise.

when was the last time you actually heard of a crane down your local NHS, kizzy, rather than saw one on American television?

[Roy Mars III]

makes sense. overweight people don't go to to the doctor's because they'd be told off for being overweight, and smokers for smoking. who wants that

this

I mean, theres no denying it happens, but some seem to think its happening every day

This is a bit like me saying all the 'skinnies' must cost loads because one of them fell down a manhole the other day and had to be winched out, so clearly it happens all the time. See how ridiculous this sounds...

(Dont ask...it came straight to my head and I went with it )

fat ones as well.

Can you find any that state that smokers/'fat ones' cost more to the NHS than healthy people?

I just looked for about 5 minutes on google and cant find any and it would be interesting to read

I much prefer to be in the company of smokers and drinkers than overzealous health freaks. Drinkers and smokers are usually friendlier people and much happier with their lives than those who strain for perfection. Fitness fanatics are usually covering up other issues so use exercise to feel better about themselves and allow themselves to feel somewhat above other people.

Cheers.

Not one of those links mentioned a crane, kizzy, and I dare say a lot of those prices just might have been hiked up by greedy industrialists I mean £1,700 for a set of scales?

[joeysteele]

It doesn't surprise me that healthier people could cost more than the obese or smokers.

I have felt for a good while that smokers are just scapegoats and it's easy to lay the blame as to cost etc on them for a lot of things, they certainly pay a great deal more to Govts in tax than most other people that's the only thing for sure.

I don't and never have or will smoke by the way.

[GypsyGoth]

If someone is healthy I don't see how they can cost the nhs that much money. If they were sick sure, but fit healthy people?

Being fit & healthy means you don't have to see a doctor, and even if you do, you're not going to be sent for any treatment.
