IF SIMPLY watching Love/Hate has your blood pressure soaring spare a thought for the characters who’d have to spend a fortune on patching themselves up after their endless physical and mental traumas.
New research from private healthcare search engine, WhatClinic.com, has found that Nidge and his gangland contemporaries would have to fork out thousands of euro on treatments for the various scrapes they get into.
If Tommy wakes up from his coma it’s pretty likely he’s going to need months of rehabilitation both, physical and psychological and post-traumatic stress disorder treatment starts at
?¬65 a session.
A chakra massage (average price
?¬81) might help some of the angrier cast members to unblock some of those emotional channels, but if things are tight Reiki might be a bit easier on the pocket, averaging
?¬53 per treatment.
Poor Fran has a lot on his plate so it’s no surprise he hasn’t got around to fixing that tooth! Unfortunately he topped the one man who might have been persuaded to fix his tooth for free.
A dental implant in Dublin will set him back thousands of euros while heading off to Hungary or Prague for a cheaper one (
?¬425) might be a little hard now that he’s in custody.
Nidge is walking a knife edge and while he mostly manages to keep his temper in check (for now) his stress and paranoia is going through the roof. The last time he lost his temper, Tommy paid the price.
Anger management would have given him the skills to count to ten and just put the iron bar down. At an average of

Janet’s already sought STD treatment, and she’s not the only one as searches for private STD testing in Ireland have risen by 133 per cent in the past 12 months.
She’s also been complaining about all that time spent on her knees so she might consider physiotherapy (average cost
?¬50) before she does herself some permanent damage.
Repetitive strain injury (a real concern for someone in her trade) is actually slightly cheaper on average (
?¬48).
Siobhan is spiralling out of control and it’s pretty likely that things will get worse before they get better, because let’s face it, on Love/Hate, they always do.
Lets just hope she finds someone to talk to before it’s too late. Countrywide, there’s been a 70% increase in people searching for addiction clinics, so if she does finally decide to get help, at least she’s not alone.
Director of WhatClinic.com, Emily Ross, said:
“Love/Hate is shining a cold, hard light on some very real issues faced by people in Ireland. People from all walks of life suffer from anxiety, stress, anger or addiction.
“It’s important for people to know that there are many online resources, both free and private, that are there to help, no matter how big or small the issue.
