From October 1st, the government would scrap the rule that temporarily bars patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 35 from hip or knee replacement surgery. How do you see this decision?

A kormány október 1-jétől eltörölné a 35 feletti BMI miatti ideiglenes ellenjavallatot csípő- és térdprotézis-műtéteknél, hogy csökkenjenek a várólisták.

  • Right call — with such long waiting lists, patients should decide for themselves
  • Wrong call — a high BMI is a real medical risk during surgery
  • Only fine if it comes with individual medical assessment
  • I don't know enough to judge
