Probably not carbon neutral though



King Charles III is doing well after scheduled prostate treatment

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III is doing well after undergoing a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate, Queen Camilla said Friday as she left the private hospital where he was being treated.

The 75-year-old monarch was admitted to the London Clinic, where the Princess of Wales, his daughter-in-law, is recovering from abdominal surgery, Buckingham Palace said Friday. The king, who entered the hospital with Camilla at his side, visited Kate at the clinic after he arrived.



I wish him well but it is worth noting that the procedure was unlikely to have been carbon neutral.

Electricity - probably not 100% sustainable.
Anaesthetic - not likely to be carbon neutral.
Surgical equipment - not likely to be recycled kitchen utensils.

I too wish him a full recovery, but I think we would be better off if he had a somewhat reduced flow.

Yeah but he's our Woke King ... he can do anything ordinary subjects may not.

Sam - ha ha, for a while I'm sure he'll avoid certain words such as 'flow'.

James - and he seems to think that's how it should be.

Surely there are some commonwealth indigenous remedies more effective than modern surgery? Our Māori could have used local plants and chants, and the Aussie 1st people could have blown smoke up his arse. No hospital stay necessary and minimal climate impact, of course, he would have sailed 'down under' on the Endevour replica. Even better he could have invited Greta to accompany him on a discovery of 18th century life.
Bonus this would keep them both out of news for a couple of years.

Dreadnought - I wondered about the possibility of indigenous remedies such as plant extracts and herbal poultices. The smoke remedy sounds like a job for Camilla though, one she never expected.
