Last time we had an operation we don\u2019t remember getting one of these after, but then again we hadn\u2019t just had a hip replaced.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s some helpful post-op advice provided by the NHS which went viral for reasons which may or may not be obvious.<\/p>\n

And while most people recognised the joke, there was no end of replies keen to prove they somehow knew better.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, and? If the information wasn’t valid for her, assuming that the story is even true, she didn’t need to read it. I’m in hospital right now recovering from infections. If the hospital gives me information that doesn’t fit my needs, I’m able to disregard it.<\/p>\n

They are not the feet of an elderly woman, why are you making up stories and getting angry about it?!<\/p>\n

\n

Absolutely, as a Nurse who cares for the elderly I\u2019ve seen more feet than I can count. They\u2019re men\u2019s feet.<\/p>\n

But no-one was more furious than this woman, a former NHS midwife turned campaigner and whistleblower who wasn\u2019t having it. She wasn\u2019t having it AT ALL.<\/p>\n

\n

The NHS is a cult.
This is disgraceful.
Who wrote and ratified this needs sacking. https:\/\/t.co\/8FyeejaV1P<\/a><\/p>\n

what are you even meant to be angry at?<\/p>\n

Why? People of any age can have a hip replacement. What\u2019s wrong with you?<\/p>\n

\n

Nothing is wrong with me Anne. What I have an issue with is the NHS telling us what we should be doing in all of our private and intimate moments. People have been intimate since millennia, we don\u2019t need another NHS perverted leaflet telling us how to have intimacy. It\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be angry at everything, it\u2019s not good for you.<\/p>\n

\n

Hi, med student here, they simply don’t want you to dislocate your hip again, risk a second surgery, internal bleeding, or lose leg function, this is standard practice everywhere, doctors must warn patients about risks of certain activities, including sexual positions<\/p>\n

\n

People like sex Victoria, get over it. Rather safe sex after an operation than fucking hurting themselves and requiring more medical attention & costing the NHS more money.. It\u2019s sex, what\u2019s with the drama?! https:\/\/t.co\/R4Y5E77OGA<\/a><\/p>\n

And this person.<\/p>\n

\n

People are joking about this but it’s actually a very smart and considerate thing for your healthcare provider to give you after a hip replacement if you’re sexually active. https:\/\/t.co\/qGNw4mQjAq<\/a><\/p>\n
