WA Health has had a novel idea to help imprint a message of living clean to the next generation of Westralians.
Instead of ghastly pictures on dart packs and ads showing bulging guts, every school age child will be treated to the full experience of being in the WA public health system for an afternoon.
Initially, they wanted to give every child a week in the system but that was deemed cruel & unusual. We spoke to the brains behind the program who told The Times,
“If kids knew what dealing with a chronic lifestyle illness is like in the public system they might give a second thought to that extra cheeseburger or vape. From wards full of ice fiends to even securing a bed, it will be a real eye opening experience for them”
Kids will get to enjoy a first hand experience of the pressure our health professionals are under and their absolute glee at drains on the health system refusing to take accountability for their lives.
We spoke to a kid who went on a trial trip to RPH. He told The Times,
“Yeah I guess I have two pathways, become one of those people that smoke outside the entrance or look after myself and avoid ever having to deal with the consequences of my actions. Pass me a salad”
For extra “scary points” a child will get to spend an hour in a ward bed next to an obese patient who snores like a bear getting throat-violated by a chainsaw.
In the words of the WA Health,
“No one is going out for Maccas after that”
He might just be right.
