Oh Gilz poor you. At least your stupid docs sent you to hospital instead of faffing around fobbing you off. So thats good. Sorry its flu. Last year docs stopped swabbing to confirm and if you had a tick box list of criteria it was assumed you had it and got the tamiflu.


to you. Stuff work. You and bubs are most important.
RANT ALERT**********
Well I have had two hours sleep after my mammoth prolonged on call. Lucky me, had to get up to pee after two hours and noticed a text. No idea who it was from, but basically it was asking me to do a fourteen page report for a tribunal. In short when people are brought in against their will, we can invoke the Mental Health Act and bring them in against their will. Of course we are then depriving them of their human rights and they rightly have the right to appeal against it. Well in short one on my patients is due his on thursday and they are a legal court proceeding. So I get a text (turns out from my junior) to tell me my consultant - knowing i am on nights - expects me to do this report. I have always done these out of the goodness of my heart and because I am a sucker and historically we as docs do what is asked of us by our God-like bosses. So, given I have just nicely finished my hellish shift, with no time to scratch my ass and basically running a hospital of very very unwell people (mentally and physically) AND covering A&E I get a TEXT from my junior when I should be asleep to tell me to do a report whilst on nights whilst also covering the hospital. Cheeky &^%$" . Have tracked down the sender of the text, my junior to tell my to pass on the message that he can put his report where sun dont shine and to do it himself. This is after four calls to track down who it came from. Didnt dare call him directly for risk of telling him this directly. Am FUMING!!!!!!!! Rang OH to vent my spleen and only feel marginally better.


Rant over. Have said no point blank but still so mad! Hoping typing this will release some anger. Think is a combination of sheer exhaustion bordering on hysteria and tears and pregnancy hormone mix. LETHAL combo
So Peanut I feel your frustration at stupid employers! And yours too Gilz! Bah humbug.
Had my theraputic philly on toast and some hot milk. Worried my raging blood pressure will fry

Just needed to vent. Then collapse.
