In the UK, in order to save costs, elderly patients are being forced to have g-tubes (feeding tubes, through their stomachs) even if they are perfectly capable of eating, in order to save costs.
Let me tell you something, g-tube feedings are NOT FUN. They are life savers-my son has one because of his disabilities, but to do this kind of invasive procedure on a perfectly healthy person is disgusting.
The bean counters who think this is such a great idea should be FORCED to have tube feeding formula for an entire week, through an NG-Nasal Gastric tube up their noses and down their throats to their stomachs-and see how they like tube feeding formula.
Bastards!
