Re Man Blinded when NHS refused to cut his hair Dear All, A man is taking the NHS to court after losing his eyesight due to his long unkempt hair. Pt said i used to get my wife to cut my hair but now she is not able to do this. So i have not had my hair cut for 2 years. This is a disgrace he went on to say. I fought the war for free healthcare and i was promised in 1948 that ALL MY NEEDS WOULD BE MET FOR FREE. The NHS has done nothing for me and i have lost my sight. This is a national scandal. All pensioners should have free haircuts to prevent others having the loss of sight like i have. My friend is here to take me to the pub for a few beers and smokes. They take most of my pension you know the OLD GOAT went on to say. APRIL 1st 2006 regards a jaundiced NHS employee.
