Quite smelly too, I'd imagine, considering they're lying there soaking up all those lovely (to a dog) seaweed juices. Woof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure it would be possible for me to lose the weight to get me under 25 which is supposedly a healthy weight without me becoming ill What's your waist size, and what's your body fat percentage? (I'm not asking for a reply) As well as BMI, those figures are important. In a man, waist over 36" is associated with adverse health outcomes. Body fat percentage (many ways to measure it - body circumference method is one you can look up and do at home) should be less than 20% for a man (30% for a woman). Put all that together and decide if you're overweight/overfat/well-built. As I've said, my BMI is less than yours and I do consider myself to be overweight, although almost nobody would consider me to be 'fat'. I could do with losing about 7kg to make everything right. At which point my BMI will be a shade over 25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe though that there might have been a weight contributory factor in the court action the anesthetists got caught up in and that this might be a back door way of them trying to put some liability mitigators in through the back door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measure it at your belly button level, horizontally, with no cheating and holding your gut in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 “Manx Radio asked for an updated version of the table, as referenced by Mr Hooper, but is yet to receive it.” (Someone’s still working on it) Funny how the whole document was reproduced using the wrong table but the right table can’t just be cut and pasted in. If death threats are being issued I’d suggest Hooper gets his ass into gear and gets it published asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still blaming DHSS I see, they have had enough time to put plans in place to address a shortfall Didnt they already have 10 million to address the short fall and 14 million to address backlogs? I doubt anyone would begrudge the health service being funded if the money wasn't being pissed away with no plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I've identified a gap between Manx Care's capability and what it is mandated to do. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Care has been around for 2 years. Does anyone know the figure they were quoting 1.5 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
