Don't treat the old and unhealthy, say British doctors

Don't treat the old and unhealthy, say doctors

You couldn't make it up, could you?

Extracts from the Sunday Telegraph:

"Doctors are calling for NHS treatment to be withheld from patients who are too old or who lead unhealthy lives.

  • Have your say: Should lifestyle play a role in deciding who gets NHS treatment?
  • Smokers, heavy drinkers, the obese and the elderly should be barred from receiving some operations, according to doctors, with most saying the health service cannot afford to provide free care to everyone.

    "The findings of a survey conducted by Doctor magazine sparked a fierce row last night, with the British Medical Association and campaign groups describing the recommendations from family and hospital doctors as "out­rageous" and "disgraceful"."

    Health care is not free. - We all pay for it in our taxes.
