Should hospitals and surgery's refuse permission for treatment if the long-suffering drinks alcohol? Alcohol similar to cigarettes is?

self inflicted poison. Why should the NHS help these people out?
Answers:
Any money, that would inflict their human rights. Most expenditure goes on longevity.
There are three ways to answer this: Doctors have an obligation to abet the sick under the hippocratic oath, regardless of how they came to be injured.

Second, alcohol is taxed heavily, and that charge more than offsets the medical burden caused by alcohol.

Third, why should anyone, including drinkers, get free medical protection in the first place? Why should the NHS exist? Why is the government obligated to provide mandatory insurance for the whole population? I'd articulate they arent and shouldnt. But if they are intent on doing it, they shouldnt discriminate between helping those who suffer from one form of stupidity (e.g. speeding on the road), and another (e.g. drinking).
You could argue that these idiots pay for their surgery threw the tax on booze and fags?
How can you have one law for smokers and another one for drinkers? The whole perception is cockeyed. If what I have read is correct then there are as abundant alcohol related deaths as there are for smokers. Some peoples thinking appears to be lacking.
No. They gave transplants to such people and found they were purely wasted. The argument that they have a right to drink or smoke themselves to death and expect treatment is approaching someone taking out house insurance and dousing his living room with petrol and expecting a payout just because he paid the premiums. It doesn't, and should not, work that style.
ermm..no because as a smoker, drinker and a worker for the NHS who pays taxes. I pay for the service so why should i be refused treatment because i enjoy myself on the weekend?? Its fine the bearing it is there should be no exeptions.
Possibly for abuse alcohol, but not for simply drinking it. Small doses of alcohol can help people. Quite a few of what we take is a poison if we transport too much of it.
Alcohol isn't illegal. It is know to be detrimental, but it is still taxed and sold. I think that all race should be able to receive medical treatment without judgment.
The government takes taxes rotten the price of cigarettes and alcohol. So the NHS should treat the sufferers of there ill effects.
WHATEVER NEXT......some body didnt look out properly for traffic... major surgery is required, no u die because you forgot to look gone??
For what manner of surgery? Organ replacement? The patient has to stay alcohol free in establish to get a new organ.
I think that sounds a bit tough. I've only get a twisted ankle! And it was only half a lager, a week ago later Sunday, after all ...
A huge part of the work the NHS does is to remedy problems cause by people living their lives with free-will... whether that is alcohol, cigarettes, sky diving, motorcycling, saloon driving, bike riding, walking, living in their house and on and on and on... why should the NHS help anyone?

Because that is why WE put it contained by place... to help US when WE need it. There have to be unquestionable requirements to some procedures medically, which is what was the case in the incident you are referring to. Purely a medical verdict, not a social decision.
