Refused treatment

[KentPhilip]

I think yes the guy should receive treatment for his hip even though it is non emergency. The reason is that the NHS was set up to give free treatment to all UK citizens whether it is emergency or not. And the fact that they have a criminal record does not stop this.

So following on from this the fact that they have a criminal record from an attack on the hospital who would be treating him is no exception.
Yes the staff expect to have a no abuse policy. But this only applies to abuse that occurs while the patient is being treated, not beforehand.
So yes if he produces bad photos of dead babies he should be thrown out of the hospital, but readmitted a few days later.

We as a society have to follow the rule of law, not the law of jungle vengence.

You might at least get the correction right.

Hippocratic Oath.

You don't have to be a patient having treatment to abuse staff.

Would have no problem with them refuseing to treat someone if for every person they turned down they lost some government funding

You should not be able to take the money up front (Gov funding from NI/Tax) and then refuse service without some penalty otherwise before you know it it will be abused to hell and back.

And to be honest refusing someone treatment because they sent pics of dead fetus to the hospital when such a hospital has probably treated rapists, murders, pedophiles or any other number of types that have caused a lot more harm and distress to others is a bit two faced and huge overreaction imo.
