I think the NHS funding should be used to help him in ways that encourage change, rather than maintenance of his current situation. However, I think it would set a dangerous precedent to refuse him NHS treatment altogether on the basis of his situation being his own fault. By that logic you would also have to stop treating smokers with smoking-related illnesses, drinkers with alcohol-related illnesses, extreme sportspeople with sporting injuries, etc etc etc on the basis that they knew they were running a higher than usual risk of needing medical attention when they consciously chose to actively pursue that behaviour.
If I was in charge of him, it would be no fucking nonsense though, like I suggested before! The NHS could pay me to feed him All-Bran for breakfast, skinless chicken breast for lunch and and salad for dinner everyday- computer off and motivating TV shows on, to be watched while doing sit-down exercises! I am not kidding!!! *wants to get in there*
In conclusion, I don't like the idea that the NHS are spending money purely on keeping him alive in his present condition, but I am in favour of them treating him in such a way as to improve his situation and bring him back to the land of being merely chubby! I would oppose any move to withdraw treatment altogether because I don't think it would be fair.
MASSIVE Paul Mason WANTED to become the world's heaviest man, it was revealed last night.
His bizarre ambition came to light three years ago after he lost 20 stone in hospital.
Paul, now 48, told stunned staff his weight loss was not what he really yearned for.
That's what, for me, sets this dude apart from the normal obese folk. Normally it's a disorder, or people who have gotten out of control after they discovered (too late, in their minds) how huge they'd gotten.
This dude wants to be a mountain of fat arse.
People can enjoy a drink, or enjoy a smoke, and not take it too far by any means ... meanwhile others can get carried away and before they know it, they have a problem. Same with food.
Because this guy has a goal of being a giant fat jabba, it's a totally different case. He already lost 20 stone after NHS treatment, but he's piling it back on again deliberately - in my view, that's case for removal of free treatment. He has no excuse at all.
This is also quite disgusting:
And he ATE his mother out of house and home as the cost of his scoffing meant she could not keep up with mortgage repayments, leading to repossession.
And this is interesting:
Paul featured in a TV documentary about obesity in 2006. In the show, made by Raw Television and aired on More 4, he argued it was his "human right" to be housed and given handouts.
He said: "I never made myself like this. I don't want to be like this."
Interviewer Giles Coren, the food critic, left and said outside: "I had to get out of there. The victim mentality is a little bit hard to bear."
...
Seemingly there is a history of events that could create a mentality to eat like this, but goddamn ... this dude needs a huge smack upside the head for wasting so much time, effort and money.
It's a good thing I'm no in the social care line of work, isn't it?
