So you assumed the worst about the NHS, when it took me 2 minutes on google to find out he had been operated on at Watford General, and that the wait had nothing to do with him winning the lottery.

There's a very big difference between opinion and fact, and imho, you posted the OP as fact, stating "he couldn't get the operation on the NHS, so luckily, when he got his winnings, he had the operation and good luck to him" & "It brings shame on the NHS, when this bloke, had to depend on the winnings, to get his health back, can you imagine what would have happened, if he didn't win".

It wasn't reported "differently" - I quoted from the same paper (The Mirror) as you; I just didn't try to, to be charitable, misinterpret it to assume the worst.
