Going to the Doctor

[BrilloPad]

she looked about 16. I'm sure Is feel very uncomfortable discussing certain issues with someone so young.

So you went in there with some sort of STD? No doubt she has seen them all before.

Yes, like the one I consulted when I came back from India with a boil on the end of me knob.

which end was the boil ?

If a contractor screws up nothing much will happen apart from a few sore arses from the round of spankings that get handed down. If a doctor prescribes a drug which has certain side effects or worse still reacts to any other medication someone might be taking, a quick reference check will make me feel a little better.

Spot on.


How many times have you been on the plane and heard 'If there are any passengers who are IT consultants, specialising in SQL server all versions, would you please make yourself known to the cabin crew'

Same number of times I've heard them ask if there's a doctor on board

My expectations are somewhat higher.

Anyone can look things up in a book. Dents my confidence in their ability somewhat.

There are literally tens of thousands of drugs in current use - A modern pharmacopeia (if they still bother publishing them in book form) is thousands of wafer thin tiny-font pages long, and is out of date within a few months.

Perhaps you'd be happier if the doctor simply prescribed Anadin Extra every time you visited.

Thought not ..

GPs are basically failed surgeons, i.e. they would have wanted to qualify for a more specialised career in medicine but didn't have the brains to get there.

Poor trolling. That's like positing every software developer wants to work for Google.
