Why should people working in the NHS, such as orderlies, nurses, physicians, and surgeons - who, I assume, generally keep fit - have to look after patients who choose to make themselves unfit by indulging in illicit drugs, smoking, alcohol and gluttony?

I shouldn't get too steamed up about it because, according to the Good Book, our life is vapour.
