Valerie Mickleson of the patient group "Patients UK" said, "This opens the way for much better doctor-patient communication. We can now respond in a similar manner to suggestions of this type, such as 'Do you actually speak any English rather than just medical jargon?', 'Have you really washed your hands, you minger?' and 'How many f*****g times do I have to tell you what my allergies are?'" </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-119006 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:44:15 +0000 yens123 119006@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>nice work - i enjoyed reading it. i like the additional comments too - theres always room for more material (pun intended). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118994 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:22:06 +0000 writinginbsl 118994@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>late as usual</p> <p>very funny-makes a good fp </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118729 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:09:19 +0000 Ironduke 118729@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Beautiful work, stars to the strenght of five from me. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118707 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:43:01 +0000 Midfield Diamond 118707@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I wrote a football fanzine article suggesting that football clubs go to great lengths to deploy the most overweight stewards and St Johns Ambulancemen in front of the away fans. It is surely no coincidence.</p> <p>This sub is a good one, I reckon prescription leggings for women and those jeans that show your arse for men could help to increase the humiliation for the salad-dodgers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118697 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:23:08 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 118697@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>In an old job I made a spoof sign-up sheet for a slimming group and pinned it up on the staff notice board. I can't remember exactly what I wrote but it was something along the lines of "Through a strict programme of exercise and ridicule you will be humiliated into losing weight."</p> <p>Several people signed up for it. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118673 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:35:22 +0000 Oxbridge 118673@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Bwahahahahaha. 5* and nailed on FP.

I would have liked to see a mention of the very serious medical issues that cause obesity, namely big bones and overactive knife and fork. Have five huge fat lardarsed stars. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118588 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 21:14:50 +0000 gaijintendo 118588@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I am pretty sure this type of treatment was abandoned in the late 50s when it was found to have no effect on Thalidomide babies.</p> <p>Hmm. That's pretty dark. Perhaps a whisky will cheer me up. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41580#post-118585 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 20:43:07 +0000 Drylaw 118585@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's a cracking idea.

Thousands of people shouting phrases such as “you fat bastard’, ‘who ate all the pies?’ and ‘have you ever seen your dick?’ were incredibly effective in raising weight awareness issues in those with a Body Mass Index above 30 be they players or fans. We also found that the more bile and invective used, particularly if accompanied by pointing and making balloon faces, the more effective the slogan.”</p> <p>By encouraging every health professional to shout such phrases during patient contact Professor Stephens is convinced this could be the ‘silver bullet’ the fight against obesity needs. “With time in consultations limited doctors really need to get the point and deliver cutting edge advice” he said. “The ‘you fat bastard campaign’ will help cut through the mixed messages on obesity that people complain about”.</p> <p>He added: “We really want the public to play their part too. If every schoolchild can tease a fat classmate, if every worker can ridicule a fat colleague and if every married couple can point out unflattering love handles we can really get this sorted once and for all. Granted this could lead to increases in eating disorders, mental health problems and suicides but you can’t make a low fat omelette without breaking a few organic eggs”. </p>
