Man refused £8,000 heart surgery
A seriously ill man has been told he cannot have a potentially life-saving operation on the NHS because his local primary care trust will not pay for it. ... Paul Carter, 66, of Malvern, was told by a specialist he needed biventricular pacing fitted for his enlarged heart.
But Worcestershire Primary Health Care Trust has refused, saying the advanced pacemaker surgery would cost £8,000.
It said it could not afford the £400,000 it would cost each year to provide the surgery to patients.
IF SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE DOESN'T WORK THERE, THEN WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT IT HERE!?
