BRITAIN'S FATTEST MAN BLAMES THE NHS FOR HIS OBESITY




BRITAIN'S fattest man, who once weighed 70 stone, is planning to sue the NHS for his weight gain, it was revealed today.

Paul Mason, 50, received life-saving gastric surgery in 2009 which reduced his weight to a comparitively small 37 stone but he claims he was not given the right medical advice before it became to late.

The former postman, who ­consumed 20,000 calories a day, eight times as much as the average man, said he sought help from his GP after ballooning to 30 stone.

But instead of receiving help to manage his weight, he said he was told in 1996 to: 'Ride your bike more'.

His care, which cost UK taxpayers an estimated £100,000 a year and topped £1million in 2009 included a specially made reinforced ambulance to carry Mr Mason to hospital.

Mr Mason also adds that he was sent to a dietician, rather than the eating disorders specialist he had asked to see, after his weight hit 64 stone.

He told a tabloid newspaper: "I want to set a precedent so no one else has to get to the same size - and to put something back into society."

An NHS spokesman said of the purported lawsuit: "As we have not heard from Mr Mason, it would be inappropriate to speculate."

At the time of Mr Mason's operation, Matthew ­Elliott, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said such patients should contribute to the cost of their surgery.

He said: “Sad though it is, this is clearly unfair to other NHS users, who will bear the brunt of subsequent cuts.

“Why should some people who have done their best to stay healthy miss out on life-saving drugs when others get huge amounts spent on them?”

Wow Oh My God

Come on now, this is a non-case. No one forces him to eat lol. He ate all those calories at his own will.

I doubt he can even show up in court lol unless video link is used. Good luck to him.

Dam British metrics  how many Pounds is 1 Stone? lol.

But on a serious note, this man is poster child for the worst of National Healthcare System. I know it is a strong word, but I truly despise people who do not take responsibility for themselves and their own actions, but rather continue to blame someone else - McDonalds, the Doctors, the Dietician, the Mechanic.

This is what I would HATE about a nationalized HC system. No one, not one single tax payer should have to pay a dime to 'help' this loser. It is just flat out wrong. Mr Smith takes excellent care of himself but has to cut into his pocket to pay for someone who won't? This is as wrong as it gets.

Somewhere between 10-15 pounds in 1 stone.

^thanks Montelik.

@ Je Soul,

What does one freak result have to do with whether you hate Nationalised Health system or not.

Abeg stop yarning bollocks.

^bollocks? are you still smoking 1999 National enquirer newspapers Ibime? 

A Nationalized HC system will be forced to pay for losers like this who do not take responsibility for their own actions, but rather pass the burden onto others who work hard to keep well themselves.

Come self. Did you read the dem articull?

Ibime, sweerie, its too early in 2011 to start, waay to early dude 

Shaaarrraaaaaaaaap!!!

Perhaps if that Jared guy had access to free mental health, he would not have shot dem people the other day!

Ibime:

Shaaarrraaaaaaaaap!!!

  Lol. This is why I just adore you 

Perhaps if that Jared guy had access to free mental health, he would not have shot dem people the other day!

Perhaps if that Hitler guy had access to free mental health, he would not have shot all dem people the other holocaust!

What does Jared have to do with the fattest bugger in your country? we're not talking about denying care to people who need it, but rather putting some kind of accountability into place on those who bring it upon themselves. Mental illness is scarcely anywhere close to wanton, self-inflicted, record-setting obesity.

Siddon there with your rolled up newspapers & stale kool-aid

On a seperate note, how have you been? I trust you have been making and giving trouble wherever your tent is currently pitched. I would expect nothing less  . Happy new year sir.

Yes Madam!

My compliments of the new year to you and yours also.

I am awaiting your next spoken word video release.

Contrary to popular misconception, I do not consume Thai red string. This is a malicious rumour started by some haters, most notably Mukina and Dayokanu.
