Channel 4’s “Dispatches” tackles a growing health concern this Tuesday in “Skinny Jab Scandal.” Reporter Ellie Flynn investigates the increasing popularity of “skinny jabs” – weight-loss injections – in Britain, raising serious questions about patient safety and the lack of regulation in the industry.
Flynn’s investigation takes a disturbing turn when undercover footage reveals a major high street chain selling the drugs to an underage patient. The program also alleges that some registered NHS nurses are prescribing the jabs without conducting proper patient checks, a practice that has experts worried about potential health risks.
“Dispatches” asks the tough questions: Why are some patients living with obesity unable to get these jabs on the NHS, while others can access them with seemingly minimal oversight? Are profits being prioritized over patient safety? And what are the long-term consequences of this rapidly expanding industry? Tune in to Channel 4, Tuesday, March 4th at 8:00 PM, for this important investigation.
