Careful with that grommet…
November 29th, 2005
In researching a story on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I came across a really weird snippet of a story from a british web site.
The article was on health-care rationing policies put in place in east Suffolk. Apparently doctors do some odd stuff to children over there:
“Other conditions affected by the new thresholds are the insertion of grommets in children, varicose veins, rectal surgery/investigation, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s Disease, trigger finger, ganglion, prostatism or inguinal hernia.”
