Woman Says She Can’t Work Because Her Boobs Are Too Big

An Australian woman is making headlines after revealing that she can’t hold down a job because her boobs are too big. Because of that Nim Murphy, 27, says she has to rely on government welfare. Although she notes that she doesn’t want to.

Here she is:

“I can’t work, I can’t exercise properly, I can’t do most things,” Murphy said. “I don’t want to be on the dole and not doing anything.”

Well, that’s a good thing.

At first, I was skeptical. We live in a day where people will find almost any excuse to get out of work and suck off the government teat. But Murphy is a size 12 HH and has a lordotic curvature, which she says exacerbates her symptoms, making work unbearable.

“Instead of curving forwards, my spine curves back in my neck – which isn’t directly caused by the weight of breasts or anything, but they exacerbate the symptoms that come from it,” Murphy said. “I get migraines, I’ve got constant shoulder and neck pain.”

“About two and a half years ago I had to call in sick because I got out the front door and started vomiting in my front yard just from the pain and so I had to stop working,” she added.

Murphy plans to get breast reduction surgery so she can live a normal life, but it doesn’t look like she’ll be able to do that any time soon. Since she lives off the government dole, she doesn’t have much money or private health insurance. So she’s on a government waiting list.

Ah yes, a taxpayer funded breast reduction surgery. Needless to say, people aren’t too happy about that.

However, plastic surgeons say breast reduction surgery is about more than the physical appearance.

Plastic surgeon and secretary of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr Dan Kennedy, says a recent study which followed 200 women after breast reduction surgery and showed a huge improvement in their overall health and wellbeing a year after the operation.

 

“I think breast reduction is the best operation that I do,” Dr Kennedy said.

 

“When people come back after their operations they say that they’ve had a dramatic relief in neck pain back pain shoulder pain, that they can exercise more freely.”

I’m inclined to call BS on this, but I know that this is a legitimate problem for some women. Heck, I KNOW some women who’ve had breast reduction surgery. But lemme tell ya, they didn’t use their problem as an excuse not to work. Never ever.

Do you buy this whole thing?
