Chuyện nước ngoài

Kính thưa các exs,
Sáng nay ra Đỉnh Đại Bàng ngồi uống cà phê, đọc báo thấy có tin nầy
hơi lạ nên gởi cho các exs đọc chơi để so sánh coi chuyện ở nước ngoài
có khác chuyện ở VN không?

TAXPAYERS pay $10,000 each time a female sailor wants breast
enlargements for cosmetic reasons. Defence Force officials claim the
surgery is justified.
Some women in the services need bigger breasts to address
"psychological issues", the Australian Defence Force officials say.

An ADF spokesman admitted the cosmetic operations were done "at public
expense" when there were "compelling psychological/psychiatric
reasons".
He refused to detail how many such operations had been funded by taxpayers.
However a top plastic surgeon, Kourosh Tavakoli, said the navy had
paid for two officers, aged 25 and 32, to have breast enlargement
surgery at his private clinic.
Mr Tavakoli said the women were not injured and claimed to be
suffering "psychological" problems.
"I've had two female navy officers who've got the navy to pay for
breast augmentation for psychological reasons," he said.
"I know for a fact the two patients claimed it back on the navy. They
know it was breast augmentation and they (the navy) pay for it.
"There's no breast augmentation that I know of for medical purposes."
The ADF spokesman said cosmetic surgery also was provided for service
men or women disfigured at work.
"Cosmetic procedures undertaken solely for the purpose of preserving
or improving a person's subjective appearance will be considered only
if the underlying (psychological) problem is causing difficulties that
adversely impact on the member's ability to do their job," he said.
"Operations purely for cosmetic reasons (preserving or improving a
person's subjective appearance) are not allowed."
A spokesman for Defence Minister Dr Brendan Nelson said the number of
Defence personnel who had received taxpayer-funded cosmetic surgery
operations would not be available until next week.
In August last year, it was revealed an army cook had a nose job
funded by the taxpayer. The Defence Force defended the surgery.
