:D Fine tune, Cym.

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she’s heading west

From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown
With golden brown
Never a frown
With golden brown

Ta, Dee. It’s all the drugs I take. :D

The direct approach is always best. For example, Good grief, man, were you eating rugby players’ socks this morning? That way, any hint of snideyness is removed and everyone knows where they stand. :D [/i]

I didn’t say it was unfair, Slayer, I said it was obviously part of the triage system. Available resources, including but not exclusively pure cost itself, must inform the process.

Look! ‘Tis uncanny.

Maybe, Pikey there is some fact in recognising that there can never and will never be enough money in the pot to fund every treatment for every illness.

BUT, as someone who works in the health service, dont kid yourself that any decisions made upon who receives what is based on anything other than financial rationale. Patient outcome and patient benefit are not a consideration.

Agreed, Slayer, but availability of resources are obviously part of the triage system in every situation – micro or macro. If by spending a million pounds on one patient you don’t have enough money to treat one hundred others then the decision makes itself.

I always thought it was that chap out of The Fast Show.

No system, no matter how well funded, can apply unlimited resources to unlimited patients. At some point the system is going to have to apply the practices of triage, even if the nation/local council/insurance company/whatever uses one hundred per cent of its budget to fund its health departments. Some awful, heart-breaking cases are always going to end up on the wrong side of this immutable law.
