I said what I did because I tend to come across discrimination quite a lot. I'm overweight, probably by about 3 stone so should I be denied any medical care because of that? I'm disabled with arthritis. Does that mean because I can't contribute to society I should be denied medical care, state benefits etc. The reason for the first problem (weight) is solely down to the second, I can't exercise. The arthritis, in my opinion, was exacerbated by a damn useless GP I used to have. I complained of back and neck problems and he sent me away with such lovely words as "I've got patients who are crippled with arthritis who don't make as much fuss". Hmmm, yes mate, if you'd sent me to a specialist I would have known that was exactly what I had developing. I could have adjusted my lifestyle and probably still be earning my living. To get back on track with this, I'm used to being discriminated against often unwittingly and without malice. That was why I said what I did. Perhaps it would be a good idea to kill this thread now as it is arguably way off topic? Dave? What do you say? I'm all for a social/community discussion but after a bit it can get too much. -- ============================================== Don't take it to the tip recycle it via the Freecycle(r) Network.
