Red face day at the doc's
Have you ever had one of those moments when you want the ground to open up and swallow you??
I was at the doctors today, well the treatment room to have my INR checked. I was also supposed to get an injection but the nurse said they had not delivered the vaccine. She asked if I would mind popping down to the main health centre in Cushendall. No bother!! , so she made an appointment for me for 1430 hrs.
I arrived in good time, obviously it was Mother & Baby clinic day as well. I introduced myself at reception, Hi I am Lewis I have a 2.30 appointment with nurse for my Syphilis injection ------ receptionist looks at me oh!!! I have you down for your Shingles injection.
I hate wearing this face masks ref, covid but was I ever glad of it today.
I am blaming John from Oz for my slip of the tongue, he mentioned a ship called SS Phyllis the other day

Ha ha Lewis, I had a similar experience when I went for my first yellow fever jab. It was at the schools clinic in Newcastle, waiting room full of mothers and little kids, a nurse opens the door and shouts out, is there a Mr. Taylor here for yellow fever? You should have seen it, kids grabbed and yanked away, like the parting of the red sea.

Re: Red face day at the doc's
I went to hospital last week, a young attractive Nurse told me to remove my trousers and lie on a bed.
I thought my luck had changed,
The a young lady Consultant came in, , the two of them examined my goolies and then , turn over and a finger up my tail pipe,.
to the Prostate./
That was embarrassing.

Re: Red face day at the doc's
During the last two years, I have had 4 treatments a month for the first year and one a month for the second year. Same procedure each time, drop your pants, on the bed, sterilize the old lad, insert the catheter and wait for the doctor to inject the serum into the bladder... Forget how many different nurses i've had to preform this procedure. a lot,
certainly does not get any better or enjoyable with each visit......
