That tattoo bloke on BH also said that the reconstruction implants were about "self-esteem based on appearance" - IOW, vanity, because there's no medical need to have anything restored after a mastectomy.
Hmmm. Do not like where that one was going either.
I tend to agree that the surgeons who implanted cut-rate prostheses probably do have a moral duty to do something about it. But in the end the NHS is there to deal with rupture, infection and serious risk. End of.
