Re: Birthday boy
Spent yesterday with a cardiologist readjusting tablets and tomorrow go back to get a monitor fitted for 24 hours . All these different specialists the GP passed you on to forget the means of transport you have on getting there and the bills they charge. Gone are the days that your GP ran the show and was hands on, now the only place their hands go is on a computers keys and pass the buck. Is that what they call AI to me it sounds like going backwards. It’s like reading a horror story reading my wrap sheet ,even have on it refuses to wear his hearing aids , not me nosperkee Inglish as it should be.It must be hard going Des in your ninety’s what’s it like grandad in case I don’t make it ? I posted about Buster Crabb because always knew it was his birthday as well , Unfortuanetley his life was cut short no three score and ten for him.
Cheers all,the best JS.
PS the day before was our 63 wedding anniversary so I told the wife her visit with me to the quacks was to celebrate the event .,JS

Re: Birthday boy
John, congratulations on both the anniversary and birthday, you have both done well.
This is the age oof Artificial intelligence, at times correctly so named.
Some of the people who attempt to use it are so low on intelligence they can make the average patient look like a genius.
I have had 5 GP in the last 4 years.
Get a good one and they move on.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Birthday boy
Hi John.
More to come yet mate, I have had a little trouble getting to sleep so asked my wife for a piece of her Serapacks a strong sleeping tablet, she gave me a tiny piece, and I zonked out, unfortunately I had forgotten the consequences, lower back muscle spasms, which I am only now getting over, other than that you'll be good to go.
Cheers Des
PS Congrats to you and Gwen on your anniversary mate.
