Besides which it is not a doctor's vocation to refuse to treat ANYONE who is injured or ill no matter how the injury or illness occurred.It becomes the thin end of the wedge if that starts to happen because where does the line get drawn and does it stay there.We could end up going down the road of only the rich can afford to be treated.

The one thing that made the NHS so special was the fact that it was free to all regardless of status,wealth,age and infirmity.Bit by bit it's being chipped away at.In my opinion there is plenty of money in the NHS but it's all being wasted and mismanaged by a few who shouldn't be charge of a bed pan let alone a budget.
