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
Agnes, 78, from Dundee, says she was just focused on getting home and having a nice cup of tea pic.twitter.com\/1Lnz1pe3wX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 sir paul the plasterer (@soulvibesbaby) November 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n And while most people recognised the joke, there was no end of replies keen to prove they somehow knew better.<\/p>\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 \u2014 Sappho (she\/her) (@LadySappho) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n They are not the feet of an elderly woman, why are you making up stories and getting angry about it?!<\/p>\n \u2014 Australian Moroccan Living (@earthlywayfarer) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\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 \u2014 Australian Moroccan Living (@earthlywayfarer) November 10, 2025<\/a><\/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 The NHS is a cult. \u2014 Victoria Rixon (@Victoria_Rixon) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Come again?<\/p>\n what are you even meant to be angry at?<\/p>\n \u2014 Evie \u2661 (@EFCevie) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Why? People of any age can have a hip replacement. What\u2019s wrong with you?<\/p>\n \u2014 Anne in socks (@LadyDoth) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\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 \u2014 Victoria Rixon (@Victoria_Rixon) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to be angry at everything, it\u2019s not good for you.<\/p>\n \u2014 Joakim (@joakial_) November 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\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 \u2014 Z\u0632 (@z_00pIz) November 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n God forbid people with hip replacements get to shag<\/p>\n \u2014 Simone de Bimboir (@BunnyJugs) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019re with this person.<\/p>\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 \u2014 Emma (@ejgallagherx) November 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n And this person.<\/p>\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 \u2014 Jake Landau (He\/Him) (@JakeLandauTO) November 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Oh go on then, and this person.<\/p>\n You often have to basically guess what conservatives are even mad about pic.twitter.com\/5ujC3ovcIh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nikolaj (@nikicaga) November 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n And for completists\u2019 sake, here is the first time it went viral, back in 2022, courtesy of former Scotland international Kevin McNaughton no less!<\/p>\n Couldn\u2019t make it up pic.twitter.com\/vxaAKwP0KD<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kevin McNaughton (@KevMcnaughton) April 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n
