I have had my thinking cap on again so bare with me please....It might be long winded.
I was reading 'kphorrox' and 'holly' dilemma about being turned down even though they appear to meet their PCT criteria for surgery.....
You choose a surgeon privately, you get your consultation and you get approved for surgery...now the same surgeon operates with the NHS but only then does this strict criteria set in........
What I'm saying is you could have the same surgeon privately as with the NHS but the outcome can be very different.
So, therefore, Is there any reason why a person seeking WLS surgery cannot get a private consultation and take the approved outcome to the NHS?...Surely this is proof...As the surgeon could be seen to a hypocrite...or negligent to a patients needs.
Could this help?
