Sausages

Here you can see a rare glimpse of what I carry around inside my medical bag...

Seriously, though, my boys have redeemed themselves slightly and after yesterday's footy I have climbed a whopping 20,000 places up the leaderboard, and am now around 40,000th in the fantasy league. Could do better...

Just been watching "Time Trumpet" on BBC2, from some of the team who did "BrassEye". It was pretty funny actually, although much of it in dubious taste like its predecessor.

Had a pretty quiet morning at work again, not as quiet as yesterday when I only saw 3 patients in a 3 hour session! When this happens, I feel really guilty about charging my usual rate, but in order not to do so I spend the spare time summarising notes. I actually really enjoy doing it as you get to nose through letters from many years ago and some of the comments are hilarious. Gone are the days when patronising consultants could write back and say "this girl is obviously a bit slow, and having met her parents, I can understand why", or "she is quite clearly mad and there is nothing I can do about it". Although there are times when we'd quite like to write that sort of thing. Nowadays we're a lot more subtle, although I of course am the embodiment of professionalism and never even think such things! I only hope that I've never pissed off my GP enough to write anything like that in my notes.
