Hospital refuses surgery on fatties, smokers
Healthy Way To Quit Smoking: Patients need to lose weight, quit smoking Affects liposuction and body re-contouring Plan to get “better outcomes for patients” Adelaide’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital is refusing to perform certain major surgery on anyone who is obese or a smoker.In one of the first moves of its kind in Australia, the hospital has issued criteria demanding patients achieve a “healthy weight range” and quit smoking before being considered for liposuction and body re-contouring treatment.
The procedure involves surgically removing large folds of excess skin and fat which can harbour infections. All current patients will be told to return to their GP to devise a weight-loss strategy or a quit plan if they do not meet the new requirements.
Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital previously has refused to perform lung surgery on smokers but the Australian Medical Association yesterday was unaware of any other hospitals with similar criteria.
Union deals help insurance premiums
Healthy Way To Quit Smoking: Lewiston - A city program rewarding employees for making healthy choices will expand, according to labor contracts councilors signed Tuesday.Employees must meet four health criteria to qualify for a 15 percent premium credit, according to the new contracts. They’d have to agree to attend a medical screening, exercise, lose weight and quit smoking to get the credit.
Councilors approved three labor contracts Tuesday night, signing deals with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees union representing the city’s public works crews, the Lewiston Police Supervisory Command Unit and Maine State Employees Association representing the city’s clerical staff.
Human Resources Director Denis Jean said the city is still negotiating contracts with three other unions: The Maine Association of Police, the International Association of Firefighters and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees professional-technical unit.
