A Blackburn Grandma who weighs seventeen and a half stone has been refused surgery because she is classed as obese. I can see how the surgeon would have major concerns about the risks involved but the lady in question is prepared to take the risk. Should the operation be allowed to go ahead despite the risks or is it okay for the surgeon to refuse to go ahead with it? The complaint isn't life threatening but the lady is taking morphine to help the pain.
