Ah. the joined-up dysfunction of the nhs. Tell you what Milly, the walk-in centres in the homes counties are on the
whole very good and don't attract the intoxicated where there are specialist services for them nearby. Well survived if I may say so and I hope the prognosis is ok.
The walk-in centre in Blackpool does not fare as well as yours - you need to be very brave indeed to walk through those doors! There isn't a centre nearer to where I live unfortunately. It's either up to A and E or the walk-in place in Blackpool. Not for the faint-hearted! |

I don't know what the A and E departments are like in your area, but ours is always very slow-moving and full of drunks and junkies usually. It's the same here, Milly. How they got through medical school I'll never know... As far as I know, the record still stands with the young man who had extensive dental rehab. after trying to catch, in his teeth, a bottle dropped from a third-floor dorm. by a friendThe practice nurse at our local surgery once told me that on average she sent about one person a month to A and E to have a cotton bud surgically removed from an ear .... |

Pleased to hear that Millie. Blackpool.. where I suppose the policemen still walk around in phalanxes and male
cosmetic surgery is performed without an anaesthetic at the back of licenced premises, not unlike the balmy
lagoons of Peckham.

Milly,
Pleased to hear that your eye is ok. Personally, I think that mascara wands are potentially lethal objects. Doesn`t stop me using them though. Oh vanity! I wince when I see women applying their mascara when they are on a bus or train. Are they mad?! And what on earth was that woman thinking of when applying hair straighteners to HER EYES!!!? Must have had alco-pops for breakfast.....

Blackpool - where I suppose the policemen still walk around in phalanxes Policemen? What policemen? They're too scared to walk around here!  Preston is as bad - although there, if you dial 999 you get the Bengal Lancers!  I'll get me coat. |

Opilec! where is your sympathy?  Tonybob, it sounds like something that might respond to antibiotics. I hope your GP takes good care of you and you feel better soon. Throat infections are bad enough, but with ear problems thrown in it can be wretched. |

docs later - not holding out much hope; they don't seem to treat stuff that needs antibiotics these days.

My brother, who is an international expert on the effect of medicines, thinks that most alternative remedies are a con, and that people spend money on them, and companies make vast profits out of them for no good reason. However, what really bothers him is that they are sometimes available on the NHS.

For those of us who already have streaming colds  it's too late this time to take the echinacea. I keep forgetting to buy the stuff. It takes about 2 months to kick in apparently. I blame the weather. No I don't I blame Roger Wright. No it's Nicholas Kenyon. Perhaps it's Sydney Grew....it's definitely somebody's fault so there. |
