    After my near death experience today at the hands off some psychotic serial killer parading as a dentist, it seems that there are some horror stories.

    Pieguts, Tobes and Fan have mentioned stupid prices being quoted for a bit of dental work.

    What other cases of Rip off Britian have affected you?

    I have a disabled lad so getting anthjng for him with the word "disabled/disability" means price goes up by more than double/triple

    He has to have shoes made and if you thought Nike were expensive try paying £200 a pop for shoes which last 3-6 months if that (worn onlybwhen out and in wheelchair so not exactly wear and tear)

    Biggest legal con going. No wonder countries in a financial mess tbh

    I has to look at getting beds for him at one stage, up to £6000 coz they have barriers.

    Or buy a normal single bed with wood frame and either bolt/screw in some slats or get those toddler barrier things (£15 in argos)

    Don't get me started on wheelchairs

    Its easy money

    Some treatments its cheaper go to india, pay for a holiday and get work done (by western doctor/dentist) and return

    So a UK £10k treatment can get you a fortnight, hotel and treatment for £3-5k

    ****ing joke

    Yep.

    My uncle needed kidney transplant due to diabetes and it would have been cheaper and quicker to go abroad and buy a kidney and get the op done than what it cost on the NHS (his son gave him the kidney)

    In UK yeah. But I meant abroad in south Asia so India/Pakistan.

    Sad thing is people there sell them willingly to escape poverty etc

    Seen an ad recently for an indian bloke who wants to sell a body part so he can keep his obese twin girls in Pepsi and snacks <doh>

    Yeah for what it is

    If you are a handy person its not hard to fix up barriers around a bed. Just a normal wooden frame one.
