Martin likes to keep abreast of things - especially when they go t*ts up

Whereas I can't deny the attraction of a ....uh....fuller....uh.....you know...... I can't understand why anyone would want to slit themselves open and insert anything deep under body tissue. In any case, I think most men would prefer the more natural look. I watched a documentary a few years ago (Horizon?) on silicone embolism. It really wasn't very nice, and once silicone starts migrating around the body, there's really nothing much you can do to stop it, all you can do is remove the source of the leak. The programme also mentioned males who injected silicone (ie liquid!) directly into various body parts which they wanted to increase in size. It was apparently a common practice. At the end credits, there was a statement that the guy they interviewed who had been practicing this was currently in hospital and unwell....and I think died not too long after that.

Are you trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, or is this just a storm in a d cup?

Why is the NHS picking up the tab when the company & the doctors involved must have had liability insurance?

Are you talking about  Pe*is enlargement ?

Oh I see, when people said they 'felt like a big d1ck' I thought they meant they were embarrassed.

(Should I wait for official notification, or save time and simply ban myself now?).

Good question. I think the answer comes in several parts. As far as professional liability to NHS patients, I believe (from some googling) that the NHS indemnifies doctors working for it. So it would be liable for any clinical negligence claims. As far as non-NHS patients, both the product and the service of installing it are covered by the usual sale of goods and services legislation (so the supplier is liable to the customer, not the manufacturer). I'm not sure about product liability to NHS patients but it wouldn't surprise me if the NHS accepted liability towards the patient (there's a matter of professional judgment involved in supplying the product anyway).

In any event, the NHS will have to pick up the tab for fixing the issue for NHS patients and then presumably will seek to recover its costs from the manufacturer if there's any cash left in a pot somewhere.

You wouldn't really want a situation where every unlucky patient had to sue an insurance company would you? It sounds like a recipe for a personal and political disaster. We don't have class actions.

There may be some alternatives

A titter ran through the gallery..........

I'm with Ivan - just can't understand the present fad for "augmentation", and frankly find a more natural look/size far more attractive, and guess it's another of those strange things that women do more to impress/outdo other women than to attract men.........

Many moons ago I was at a wedding reception at a local castle, where the female of the species were wearing ludicrously expensive dresses, dripping with bling, many of them tottering on 6" heels, and proudly displaying obviously "silicone" augmentations - they obviously thought they were the dogs danglies, and they sat down for the meal - then a touch of true "class" arrived - one of the serving wenches - slim and willowy, beautiful posture, flat shoes, black skirt, white shirt, sparkling clean hair and eyes, not a trace of makeup who was an utter delight to watch as she gave meaning to "poetry in motion" as she served food to the Cruft's candidates.........

I understand that the company concerned was French and a German supplier has admitted supplying the company with industrial grade silicone.

Martin, I AM ABSOLUTELY WITH YOU REGARDS THE NATURAL LOOK, it is allways a fantastic vision that stays in ones memory, of the fresh and natural look. (even the young tractor driver girl in her bikini i had to help), My kind of Heaven.

I'd love my wife no matter what she had. It's even better for both of us that she has a little more than her fair share 

The thing is though, we males are far more secure in our skin than our partners are. For us, it's more about what we have around us than what is part of us. Women care far more about how they look physically and suffer psychological hang ups as a result. That's not to mention those who seek augmentation as part of reconstruction surgery.

I can understand why some women want augmentation. It's a free country and its their choice.

I'm just pleased that my wife isn't one of them.

Whilst all this titillation is very welcome please remember that there are instances where cosmetic surgery is helpful. In particular women who have had a mastectomy may require the procedure and it is reasonable to think that the NHS would help with costs. However, vain people wishing to self harm themselves in should do it at there own risk and should be denied free treatment on the NHS.

You are awful, but I like you!!
