what grinds your gears

[Wombat]

I know how you feel my long-suffering wife of nearly forty-three years went into the hospital with abdominal pains doctor examined her and said why are you flinching when I prod your stomach she said because it hurts he looked at the nurse and said why is she on a drip take it down there is nothing wrong with her send her home .she came home and two months later she died from pancreatic cancer I dare say at that late stage there was nothing they could have done but that is no excuse to be rude and ignorant and if he could not tell there was something wrong with her at that late stage he should not be doing that job

Thought it was just our family that had those kind of things on the nhs

Sorry for your loss and your wife`s experience.
The annoying part for me is that I know the system and how it works.
The ability of GP`s to listen to their patients appears to be a lost art as long term GP`s are becoming a thing of the past. It`s all locum`s now.

Id settle for two weeks late...

Two weeks is nothing in Shropshire, believe me !

Carrying on with the medical theme......... consultants!!

All very nice and polite at the initial consult (mostly), you get the follow up letter and it's wildly inaccurate and gets sent to seven other consultants that now think you were not open and honest. Let that slide and write a polite letter to correct the facts. Follow up appointment and he's a complete tw4t, can't remember what he said last time, not ordered the right blood tests, refuses to authorise an mri closer to home Etc etc.

95% of consultants we meet I either don't like or don't trust their interest in the job.

Dishwashers!!

After writing a post on a different thread this morning I decided to wash the dishes and fill the dishwasher so my wife didn't have to when she got home from work. What a mistake!

It says silence plus on the front of the effin thing but I didn't think it was this quiet!

I've got more lights flashing than the control room at the chernobyl power plant! I've slammed the door, that seems to have done the trick and I can hear water running through as I write this. Either that or I've cracked the pipe at the back!

@Celt83 its the thought that counts bud wether it comes out sparkling clean or smashed and a bust machine I’m 100% certain your good lady will be happy just because You tried to help ease her busy day....... only joking if my wife catches me so much as placing something in the wrong way I have to retreat to my safe space until she calms

Inspectors. It’s the Anglian water mans third visit now. Each time he finds something wrong, we put it right then it’s something else. We bought troughs in good faith that were supposed to be right but apparently aren’t up to standard so why are they are for sale? Whole things a nit pickers wet dream.
The sheep are going so a lot of the troughs are going but lo, there are further regulations for flushing “dead legs” taps to fit and insulated boxes all good homes for Mr Rat while he secretly gnaws the pipe or for the hedger man to flail off. Think we will just cut the field supply network off at the yard permanently and fit a tap.
And they why folk can’t be bothered any more.

I did giggle at that one!

As my grandad used to say "no good deed goes without punishment"

Well, strictly speaking it’s 6 months late, but what with the virus........

 

[melted welly]

This.....

Couldn’t care less about the “art” being nicked,

Art? Where? Is that it on the right?

yes, that’s it there, the big orange thing that looks like a giant turd.

no wonder it got lifted, what an eyesore. Artist apparently put a lot of work in and reckons £2-3k to replace it

Different feckin world to where I live, I tell you.

Road improvement programme here that left a 12” step for us to get out the farm road onto the highway. They had put a couple of barrow load of cold set as a ramp but it was so narrow and steep it was useless. Made a complaint and I got another couple of barrow loads rolled once by the back wheels of a tranny. An inadequate mess considering we have hgv traffic loading grain away etc. So went down with my telehandler and got a bucketful off their heap in the next lay-by, laid it and rolled it myself with the Sanderson. Proper job. If you want it done right do it yourself. The art of hand shovel use is well and truly dead.

Tossers with automatic gates that leave you with your rig stuck out over a road junction despite ringing them before arrival telling them to get the gates the feck open.

Organising contractors, letting everyone know a week in advance when you're cutting, and when needs baled. Day 3 of we'll be there after lunchtime. Had an extra man paid with me all day today as they were definitely coming and weather to break Monday.

Walkers and joggers on roads proceeding with backs to oncoming traffic - on main roads, too, now!
Why can't people use the right as per the rules?

Facing traffic is so much safer, because you can take action to get out of the way should a driver fail to see you. Right hand bends on some roads do warrant a cross over to the left - there are drivers who are dangerous enough to miscalculate bends that are left hand to them - but there isn't a reason, otherwise.

General Practioners or GP`s are rapidly escalating up my grinds list.
Gammy leg - bursitis - I know what it is, physio knows what it is, had an examination at the GP`s they know what it is.
GP puts you on meds hoping you go away..... 2 months later said meds aren`t working.
I know a pain consultant ( a work colleague) he said, "Needs a guided steroid injection that`ll sort it, get the GP to refer you."
Ring GP. "Can`t do that, got to try this drug now for 2 weeks, if it doesn`t work after a week double the dose".
Week 1 - same.
Week 2 double dose - after Day 2 the headache from hell hit like somebody had a Kango on the back of my skull.
Day 3 I start looking "rosey" and think feck this back to 1 pill.
Day 4 face is starting to swell up, stop taking pills "It`ll go away".............
Day 5 full on tomato head.
Thinking "Hmmmmm this isn`t good".
Bus down to town waddle into A&E after the "covid triage".
A&E Desk look a tad concerned and say can you just go through the blue doors there to Majors.
I`m thinking "Oh must because of the new layout..... nope..... they was panicking.
Oral piriton large dose and sat down in a cubicle with a batch of epi-pens next to the bed.
Seems I might be allergic to amitriptyline and was "One step from anaphylaxis which isn`t "good".
All sorted, prescribed mega steroids which as a bonus have made the leg feel a lot better but finish on Friday.
Rang the GP today............. sorry no appointments its a half day.
Booked one for tomorrow....they are going to "Get some".

Now looking like a burns victim as the angiodema (swelling) decreases and the dead skin drops off.

The NHS is the Wonder of the World don'tcha know!!!!!
