Doing stuff for charity... am I missing the point?

Shouldn't people take some sort of responsibility for their actions?

Hush your mouth. That's crazy talk.

Could they not take out insurance in case they get injured? I know the NHS is there for those according to need - but why pay for those who put themselves in danger? Or even those who get legless?

Shouldn't people take some sort of responsibility for their actions?

And if they want to learn about the NHS become a nurse.

Because doctors and nurses don't want to be forced to make that kind of judgment of people.

As Su Ellen said, you don't have to be a particularly caring person but if you can do what you like doing and do summit useful at the same time, why not? I used to do stints at Furnihelp. I don't do any charity stuff at mo. but I do police search team and local council footpath inspections and repairs, all good excuses to keep fit and spend my time wandering around the countryside.
