Is This Type Of Thinking...

...the result of Socialized Medicine?

my favorite comment at the end of the article is this one.

I hope he will take the same action for people in car crashes and not treat
them either , then they will take responsibility for driving badly , and also
people who are injured as a result of alcohol related assaults , they shouldnt
go where there is a likelihood of violence, or perhaps people injured at work ,
they should be more carefull , in fact we the public should realise the nhs is
not run for our benefit but for the benefit of those like Dr Meldrum , or is it
Meldrew ?

Here is a reprint of a 1960 The Freeman article. Don't know if it is trustworthy, but I sure enjoyed reading it.
