Revolution in Iran

I predict a revolution

SOON

This cannot go on any longer. Not when there have been 2 weeks of protests and almost 5 million people on the streets. Do you know what 5 million people look like?

Terrifying

The Government is shit scared and they should be. I have seen mobs and mob violence, if this goes on much longer there will be revolution again in Iran.

And this time the Supreme Leader will be fed to the dogs...

as dog food.

The Resourcing Merry-Go-Round

OK - How do we fuck the people working in the NHS without explicitly saying we're fucking them.

Now a good fucking should never be clandestine. In fact, it should be good fun.

However, where the National Health is concerned, nothing is fun.

So, let's take the district nurses for example, they are the ladies (usually ladies) who go around patients' houses and bandage their legs, take their blood, have a chat, wash their cats etc etc.
In fact, they are essential in keeping 50% of the house/bedbound population of Britain SANE.
Without them, they would be INSANE and therefore making our lives hell.
So let's not underestimate the work that the DNs do.

Now, they are already an overworked bunch, because we may all think OOO Look at them they just drive around all day from one place to the next doing easy little bandages. Let me tell you, when the legs that need the bandages smell like rotten salami, the job suddenly becomes unsettling.

But I DIGRESS - damn.

1. There are 3 different departments with DN teams looking after patients.
2. Idiot management decide to make cross-cover easier, they will make a huge Uber-District Nursing Dept. which now covers all 3 areas.
3. In fact, now the nurses are run ragged all over the place and haven't got a clue and slowly but surely half leave with 'stress' or are on 'long term sick'.
4. Everyone who is left says 'WHAT THE FUCK'
5. Each of the 3 areas were slightly different in terms of service provision in the first place and so management after a few years undertakes another restructuring and this time call is 'decentralisation of services'
6. There are now 3 different departments again but now with half the team missing.
7. Everyone who is left says 'FUCK - I'M OFF'

Desperate Clingers

I will tell you about the types of patients that I regularly see.
I am not naming names so please don't ask me, I have an oath of confidentiality you see.

One of these is called a Desperate Clinger (DC)
One of these patients is Mrs Rees (for argument's sake) and she always complains of the same thing over and over.
"Doctor I have a headache. I have had it for a few years"

Me Thinking: So what?

"It's throbbing today."

Me Thinking: So what?

"So what have you tried for it?"

"And so what about the headache, doctor?"

Fuck's sake. There are some patients who make one angry, unfortunately this visceral emotion is not one that is easily controlled. Mrs Rees pisses me off.
I don't care what anybody thinks, I am a human and this lady is not treatable. She uses the surgery as an alternative for a social life. If we are the best she can do - God help us all (not that I believe in God).

I Will Tell You

There are alot of people out there who write about this and that - but how many tell you like it is?
Not many.
Actually even fewer than that.

Actually the real number is probably less than Not Many subtract Actually Even Fewer Than That.

So here goes.
