Cautionary tale!

I saw one of my gps today, I always write down what I want to say at an appointment as I usually forget once I'm there. I then on the back of the page write what was said at the appointment as I have a terrible memory, always so mentally foggy lately....... anyways, I saw a Dr last week and she said to come back this week if things hadn't improved, tbh she didn't really listen and gave me antibiotics for a wee infection without even checking my urine, so on my notes I wrote what an uninterested silly cow she was as well as a few other choice words I won't repeat as was feeling quite grumpy about it all....sooooo this week when I went back I grabbed the same bit of paper as was same stuff I wanted to say again......you can see what's coming......well the Dr grabbed the bit of paper off me to take a look himself before I could stop him......My heart sank as he turned it over and continued reading what I'd written about his colleague and raised his eyebrows.....needless to say I grabbed the piece of paper back and vacated his office sharpishly........lesson learnt!!!:oops:
 
I might try something along those lines but deliberately ...
 
lol brilliant!

i record my appointments on my phone, mainly so the wife can experience what was said first hand, as i cant be bothered with the interegation i always get, on the iphone you can shut the phone off while it silently records, i just hold it

Aaaahhhhh well I wonder if the 2nd Dr:doctor: told on you, or kept it to himself, but was just dying to say something;)
 
Back in the early 90's I saw this film called "Hand that rocked the cradle" on VHS with a female friend of mine..
We had made a bit of a "night of it" & I can't exactly say my control was A1 at that point.
The following day I remembered I was due a check up with the docs. I had got to the surgery by the skin of my teeth only to realise I was to see a locum called "Dr House"...

I know what you are thinking.. This guy looked like Hugh Laurie...!!?

No, I was called over the Tanoy by a woman... Making my way to the room I knocked & pushed the door open.
I was greeted by a stunning blond Australian woman who looked & dressed like the killer from the aforementioned movie..
"What can I do for you?" She asked, giving me a cold professional look. I shuddered to think.. I already knew what the "thriller killer" could do to an asthmatic ...
