Re: Drs Visit
Drink plenty of fluid we are told.
Five cups of good instant coffee a day, that is about two liters.
Then I drink water, about one point five per day.
Then a beer, about 350 mils per day.
Then a glass of wine, about 170 mils.
The go to the loo about three times during the night.

Re: Drs Visit
You only have to go back 50 years when up for first aid certificates and the advice for treating someone for stress , exactly opposite what it is today, Then keep the victim warm ,give him a cigarette if he smokes, and a glass of whatever spirits you have at hand , today just the opposite , I wonder what mastermind spoiled the small bit of happiness. Today I went for what I thought was a brain scan I had to undress and answer a lot of question e.g. did I have any metal inserts in my body , did I have any tattoos ? Etc.etc.when I asked I was to have a brain scan I was informed when in the chamber it would have to be a quick one as inside the chamber was a mass of magnetism and too much time scanning the brain was a no no, and had to do a general one of the whole body which I’m not complaining about. However when they mentioned magnetism I had to stop myself from asking them could I sue the shipowner if any damage was found as quiet often I had my head stuck inside the magnetic compass ?.,there was no special helmet suppled like there was today.Cheers JS
