8legs: Mary rich

#1 out of 1

Woman can’t work due to 34GG boobs that NHS refuses to operate on

Mary Rich, a 36-year-old healthcare worker, describes constant back and spine pain linked to her 34GG breasts, and she remains unable to work without relief.
Policy changes in 2024 are cited as the reason Mary does not meet NHS funding criteria for breast reduction, despite ongoing pain and disability.
NHS officials state the application lacked documented intertrigo or ulceration unresponsive to treatment, a criterion now used in funding decisions.
To pursue private surgery, Mary has launched a GoFundMe to cover consultations, private treatment, and aftercare.
Pain worsens with movement and persists for days, affecting daily activities like standing and sitting.
Mary says private surgery is financially out of reach without support, driving her to seek fundraising.
Her case underscores the broader debate over NHS criteria for cosmetic versus functional procedures.
Mary Rich, with two decades in healthcare, has previously explored various treatments before turning to fundraising for private care.
Intertrigo, cited in funding discussions, is described as moisture-related skin friction that can lead to rash and infection.
Public fundraising and social media outreach accompany Mary's push for private treatment, including personal testimony about long-term spinal impact.
