https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/11/04/uk-national-health-service-to-deny-treatment-for-racist-or-sexist-language-gestures-behaviour

A National Health Service (NHS) trust has announced that it will withdraw treatment from patients it deems to be racist or sexist.

The North Bristol NHS Trust announced that patients will be subject a “sports-style disciplinary yellow card and then final red card in which treatment would be withdrawn as soon as is safe” on its official website.

So now the government says, "If you want to live, obey."

This news is also on the BBC Bristol Southmead Hospital: Racist patients could have treatment withdrawn

How would you deal with members of the public who were abusive to your staff in any business?
These people haven't even got the excuse that they are paying for the service in the UK.

So, Nick, is the thread OP purveying fake news?
Must be so few innerwebs places for conservatives to let their voices be heard.

Not just innerwebs, it must be shouted on the street. He's a fill in the divisive negatives. His mere existence offends. He must disappear! I am privilege!

Wonder where they learned that hate? Their good book?

Think there is a lesson in many of those good books that says something to the effect of an eye for an eye. So when they shout this conservative voice, they should disappear, just as they require others to do. After all, fair is fair.

Quite frankly anyone who abuses hospital staff in anyway, shape or form should be immediately ejected IMHO.

Why should they have to put up with those who can't act in a civil manner?

Might have an exception for mental cases. Might have some education for those from elsewhere where the culture is different. People in significant pain are not always on their best behavior.

Right now I can't think of any other exceptions.

My eye offended me, so I plucked it out. It was jaundiced.

Seeing as Clyde has such a bad memory, I've had to attend more MVA's than I care to remember and as both a warranted officer as well as a firefighter so don't try pulling your so called extensive experience B.S. routine again.

Sure some will scream and some will swear (that is easily handled), but there is no excuse for personal abuse and those that do here will be waiting for the police to secure them before they get attention.

So Clyde, why do you keep wanting to defend those antisocial minorities?

Maybe he thinks hospital workers act superior? ;)

Dear "Wiggo",
How many people in your occupations did you let die because they were "antisocial minorities" and you abhorred them?
As always Clude goes to the utmost extreme of interpreting a sentence, let alone the meaning of a post .
If we applied the same scrutiny to Clude's posts we'd never respond, since his grammar never makes sense.
We grant Clude enormous leeway in interpreting HIS posts, yet he applies none in return.
Clude will no doubt look up the meaning of grammar and decide it makes no sense.
Ah, the vagaries of old age.
Yes Clyde does like to go to his over the top extremes and we should all be use to his hypocritical posts anyway. ;-)

As the BBC story that Clyde himself linked (for the second time, after Nick's initial link) goes on to say:

"We of course made sure he was clinically safe, patient safety is paramount, and once I established that, he was removed from the ward."
All of you need to read more than the headline.

Do you agree with Wiggo that medical attention should be denied to those he describes as "antisocial minorities"?

Or do you agree with me that medicine is about healing all?
I believe that medicine and healing should be available to all. Not limited, as in some countries, by ability to pay.

Finance, and education about civilized behaviour in relation to other human beings, should be sorted out at a time and place separate from the point where treatment is needed.

Privilege brain is so strange. Cuss out the care giver, and they can't understand that is a valid request for treatment to end.

Correct, but still doesn't excuse Wiggo's belief that...
If your opinions have worth.
SO you believe that the only person whose belief has any value is yours?

In the US, those wait times are lower but at a "great" cost.
To give an idea of the "worst case scenario", he said, the report's authors compared how much was spent on medicines per person in the US and the UK. The report said this was a way to "crudely estimate" how much it would cost the NHS if it spent exactly the same as the US on drugs per head of population:
◾The NHS in England spent an estimated £18bn on medicines in 2017-18
â—¾The US spent 2.5 times as much per head, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
◾Multiplying £18bn by 2.5 gives an annual cost of £45bn
◾That's an extra £27bn a year or about £519m a week
No wonder you want to get your hands on our NHS
Profits 1st right?

I bet that us not allowing big U.S. pharmaceuticals cut in on our health system was 1 of the reasons that Trump dropped out of the Pacific Free Trade Agreement.

Clyde, most injured people here when the situation is explained to them will settle down very quickly so that they can be attended to, but even now when an ambulance has to attend a possible violent incident the police must arrive first to secure the area and/or persons.

We're having enough of a problem these days retaining emergency and health workers because of these fringe morons and spreading our police resources thin, even with the heavy penalties that apply to assaulting emergency, health workers and police officers.

Personally I think that some of you Yanks are nothing but spoilt hypocritical children. ;-)
