How? Most hate it. Can’t remember the stats but certainly over 50% are not happy about taking care of fat patients. Doctors are the worst shitlords out there. Of course we all have sensitivity training and know how to tread carefully but I’m yet to see a nurse happy with her immobile 300lb assignment, a surgeon happily anticipating a CSection on a morbidly obese woman, or an anesthetist who is overly excited about intubating someone without a neck. It’s just more work, more stress, more opportunity for personal injury and liability. Plus for those of us who aren’t jaded yet, seeing someone young suffer complications way too untimely for their biological age is ...sad. What really sucks is that you cannot refuse care on the grounds of morbid obesity even when you know it’s going to cost you your back. Administration doesn’t really give many shits about proper staffing and a smaller hospital isn’t going to be able to afford an expensive bariatric lift. So it’s all on us. Do the fats care about the damage they inflict on fellow humans? Most don’t. I have to get back into strength training because I only have one back and a few kids to support for years to come.

Fat women especially disgust me. We should hand out fines for fatness like we do with parking tickets or littering.

Oh I definitely think those that visit hospital over a certain amount of times a year should have to pay more NHS than the rest of us. Its not fair that I have to wait hours to see a doctor whilst drunken yobbos and fat useless lumps come in to a&e on the regular. Its also not cool that those on benefit get to use the health servoce for free. You dont pay into NHS therefore should have to pay for your care!

It's not just the fatties disproportionately fucking the NHS up though. Health Tourists can cost ridiculous amounts of money too - a Nigerian woman arrived expecting quadruplets and cost the NHS around £500,000 that nobody will ever pay. This record has been recently beaten by an Indian man, but fuck knows what for and there's many cases of elderly relatives or other family members 'suddenly' having chest pains when they're on the plane to the UK and, lo and behold, they need major heart or other surgery urgently. The system is fucked and the fatties and others are gonna break it within a couple of decades.

We do it cause we don't want to get fired cause a fatass complained.

If they fuck it up, they should have to retroactively pay for the first chance too.

but my ideal scenario for health care would be to give fat people one chance to lose weight. If they don't do it, they have to pay for all health-related expenses out of their own pocket.

It's funny/enraging because this is very similar to the rule for drug addicts (USA). You can get help for a rehab i think a max of 2 times, but if you don't keep yourself clean you pay for the whole thing out of pocket next time (which of course most cant do).

You obv need to have mental problems AND food addiction problems to get to a certain size, why treat the fatasses better than the any-other-kind-of-addicts??

Think how many of these paramedics end up with broken backs because they are hauling 600lb useless sacks of shit around all day.
