This place never ceases to bewilder me!!
Having worked in the NHS and seen so much avoidance of potential litigation, this place sometime leaves me gobsmacked at how laid back they are!!!
I registered with a GP and went to see him with a list of my regular medication- can I have these on a regular basis? Yup
Anything else you might need? oh - well- how about XYZ???- I need them from time to time. Yup
Anything else- urmmm...I've never bothered with such and such a problem- is it worth looking into?- Nope- here have this cream/tablets ( didn't even look)
At this point I was starting to feel a bit of a hypochondriac!!!
anything else?....well If you write a letter to my GP- here's his address, I ( my OH) will put in a translation- then they can send you my notes etc.
Bah- no need for that- I believe you.
You OK otherwise?- well I think so...bien- Au revoir!
And then today at the vets- I called in to ask if I could make an appointment to get some tablets for my cat
What for- his skin rash- what do you want- well- I had these strong tablets before- and they seemed to work and I'd like some more- ah - no need to see the vet. How many do you want? Do you think he could do with some steroids too ? NOPE- he's too old..oh OK- let me know if you change your mind.
What the....
