//Cynthia Butcher, from Aveley in Essex, was referred by her GP to A&E with a note warning a golf-ball size lump on her leg 'may bleed catastrophically imminently'.
But the great-grandmother was turned away from Basildon Hospital by doctors who said they could not perform the procedure because she was 'over 70,' reports The Mirror. //
Clearly they knew it was an emergency but declined to rush.

Oh that's awful, really, really awful, but it's not correct that the NHS routinely avoid treating the over 70's.
I have no idea why this occurred in this case, and questions most definitely need to be answered and people brought to book where there is fault, but it's not a general policy as my terminally ill grandfather is well over that age and is treated frequently, caringly and well on the NHS.

I know Sqad. I had one and received stents when it exceeded the monitored diameter.
I don't blame the NHS for her death on bit. She was given the warning formula about 20years previously by NHS Scotland as a result of many smoking related maladys. She was told if she continued smoking it was likely she would go blind. She was one of these idiots who new better and said her dad smoked all his life. She watched him slowy die latter 10 years of his life hooked up to an oxygen bottle. Then she saw her younger brother die attached to an
oxygen bottle. The doctors said her aneurism was inoperable because her arteries were too badly damaged due to prolonged smoking. She never got my sympathy vote but she wasted a hell of a lot of the NHS resources because of her stubborn circumstances.

Neither am I perfect but I am not stupid and selfish either. I was a heavy smoker and told I would need an aortic bypass and bi Femoral grafts.I was advised o stop smoking by the pre-op nurse. I did immediately. That was about 16 years ago.
This OP is not about me or my MIL. I was actually defending the NHS track record as it happens and criticising the lack of wardens in sheltered accomodation. They charge enough for them !!!
