The human plumbing snake. He can get into all those hard to reach places..

LOL... that's what I was going to say. Now he's the only one that can reach that one impossible to reach fitting up behind the sink.

“Wot’s ‘is then! What’d ya do t’my arm, y’tosser?”

“Oh sir, that is so you can reach down through the trap in a sink and unclog them more easily!”

Mr Eeles fractured his arm on December 3 and was rushed straight to casualty where doctors put his arm in plaster.

Translation the guy goes to the hospital emergency room with a mangled arm and they put it in a plaster cast and make no effort at a surgical repair. In any US hospital the guy would have been in surgery that day having his arm repaired. Any US doctor or hospital treating a case like this would be sued for malpractice.

This reminds me of the Dr. Nick Simpson episode.

Becaue government bureaucrats and leftist politicians are SOOOOOOO compassionate.

Okay now I am pretty sure he did not set that arm by himself. So my next question is when he originally broke his arm what quack set his arm so that it would heal like that?

Most doctors I know of dont say okay lets set that arm and once it heals we will go back in and operate to straighten it out!

Ah the joys of a single payer system like the Brits have

But, you can’t sue the government, no matter how bad they screw up. That’s the point.

I’m sure Obama will come up with a system almost as good as the British system. I’m praying for America, that Obama’s socialized medicine will not pass.
