It's a simple thing that should have been a dentist job a year ago which now as got complicated needs an operation which will be eighteen months from now which is too long...
It's nasty and as started to cause numbness in lips and if they operate in eighteen months could course some very serious shit...If they don't operate the serious shit will slowly creep up on her anyway effectively ruining her life...
I'm really starting to have a deep seated dislike of the NHS big time...
It's kind of upset me in a kill em all kind of way for letting this happen 🤬🤬🤬☹☹☹🦆

I haven't shaved in ten years or so now. Just hack back the forest every so often and use the clippers I use on my bonce if I want it short. I still have my cutthroat razors though from when I did shave regularly. I was always too tight fisted to buy them so expensive they have to be locked away from the tea leaves jobs. A cutthroat will peel yer skin off and you can't get a closer shave than that!

I am the same, but before I go diving I use the cutthroat on my top lip enough so the mask can seal properly. It makes me look a bit Talaban until it grows back but it still beats needing to clear my mask every couple of minutes.

A lot of divers did a couple of mask clears during their training but haven't done one since.
Consequently, even though they may have 100's of dives in their logbook & be very experienced. I've seen a few have a mini panic attack if circumstances dictate an enforced mask clear.

That isn't the case for folk with a tash. Mask clears are a regular thing 🙂

BTW...
How was your time in Ukraine @GaleForceEight?

Wish herself all the best from us. It's no fun being in pain...

30+ years ago I had a lump on my chest, saw the doc, who said 'hospital. About a month later, come on in and we'll have a look. Bring your jamas.

So go in on the day. Okay bucko, operation time! News to me, but they know what they're doing, right? Male nurse, got to shave your chest a bit... Cue slicing a chunk of nipple off. To which guy got told to go fuck himself with his dirty razor. Doc came round a bit later "Oh, you seem to be bleeding there, maybe this lump is malignant..." No you soft pick, your arsehole nurse sliced it open with his razor....

Want a pre med? Err no ta.

Just need to inject you with this... Bingo, wake up that evening in a fair puckle pain, on a drip and with a drain. What the fuck?

So, they opened me up, a scar some 8 inches long, and left me a depression in my chest I could lose my fist in. Drain came out a couple days later, and get kicked out.

About a week later, it was swelling and painful, so I took a look myself... Only left a cotton swab thing in there hadn't they! So I took that out and washed everything out. Live and learn, eh? Still have a scar and a hole in my chest.. If I'd had any sense I would have sued the bastards.

Did they ever tell you what the lump was Sandy? Or is that a daft question as they removed it, & a lot of flesh surrounding it.

Oh... When my son was due his pre school boosters, we booked an appt in Helmsdale surgery.

Got there, locum Dr, a Sikh. Tell him why we are there, and he says "Oh no, I don't inject children" calls the nurse, who says it's his job, not hers, she's not allowed to do it. So he faffs and fanny's about, at which point I says Fuck this, and we left.

Made another appointment, and got to see the usual Doc, I says to her about this Sikh guy, and she says "Oh. That was you, was it."

Obviously I'm thinking that I've done something wrong, and Sikh is offended, but no... Turns out he wasn't even a real Doctor, had been caught out trying to pass himself off at Raigmore hospital, trying to cadge a bed for the night. He had been handing out prescriptions, and the likes across the Highlands....

Scary, huh.

Not really no, I think it was a lipoma, as far as I could tell. At the time all they would say was it was benign. I asked a Dr a few years back to look at the records to try and find out, but it's not even in my notes!

Well, I have the scar to prove it!

You know @Big Sandy I have to say that I have rarely met anyone who doesn't have at least one dodgy cock-up story about the NHS, really makes you wonder just how many of them know what the hell they are doing. I have a lipoma on my back (caused by a wound falling on a sharp rock while climbing years ago) that has slowly grown and is now about the size of a walnut but I am fucked if I'm letting the useless cunts near it as I am willing to bet they would fuck it up somehow. It's amazing how the nation claps for them etc. and there are so many who won't hear a bad thing about them as it just might give the government an excuse to axe the NHS or something.

On a slight tangent but ref foreign medical staff...

I've been backwards & forwards to our local hospital for many years re the same problem. They haven't got a clue what's wrong or how to solve it. Consequently numerous quacks have had numerous guesses. Trouble is, each time that "guess" is talked about as though it's a factual diagnosis. Until another possibility is suggested several months later.
It seems that each quack is determined to be the one who solves the mystery. Even if that involves outright lies & bluffing.

To make matters worse. Soooooo many of them have such strong accents I can only make out 1 word in 10.
Honestly that isn't an exaggeration.
I try to explain it to them by saying the problem is partly my poor hearing & partly their strong accent. Basically so they don't find it as easy to play the race card.

Two visits ago, the guy I saw had such a poor grasp of English I'm not even sure that he was speaking English? 🤔

On a similar note.
The audiology dept recently employed a Jamaican lady as the receptionist. Then placed her behind a glass window & got her to wear a mask.
Then expected folk who are hard of hearing to understand her incredibly strong accent. As well as having their ability to lip read taken away by her mask!
Which dumb-ass box ticker thought that was a good idea FFS? 😏

When we were expecting our second son, Mrs was bleeding, late at night. So called the Hospital and they sent out another locus. This one was Indian, or some such.

He arrived at the house in a taxi, and had his ‘kit’ in a Tesco carrier bag. I Could hardly understand a word he was saying, but got the gist of “internal exam” as he waved his dirty yellow marigold gloves at me. I threw him out of the door, and took Mrs to the hospital to actually see a real Dr.

Couldn’t make it up, could you? And they ask why I don’t trust them.

I know a lady called Sue..Great lady had a rough life and on top of that she as a son in his forties that ain't all there and as a lot of medical problems..She visits and takes care of him everyday..
Long story short his leg started swelling up six months ago..Take asprin was the hospitals stance..swelled even more and he can't walk on it..can't find anything wrong with it stop wasting our time..Skin cracks bleeding and goes sceptic..A course of antibiotics and its all in his head says the doctors and hospital...she seeks legal advice and doctors and hospital now have no records of him ever having existed..Funny that..
He's now waiting on a decision to amputate his leg above the knee...
Sue was on my bus nearly every day for six months going to doctors and hospital with him..
Bunch of pricks...
@Big Sandy just made me think about it 🤔 🦆

I only needed to go as far as the Polish Ukrainian border, then handed off to some ukrainian lorry drivers who were heading in to stay. The NGOs don’t like independents tagging along, apparently. Cost me about £1200 to get there and back, gladly given to help in a small way. I nearly got a fine in Germany because the van was 100kgs overweight, but when they realised where I was going they sent me on my way.

Edit: a bit of vaseline on the tash helps with the mask sealing as it fills the gaps between the hair a bit, but it’s not 100%. Flying out from Stansted and and there is a pot of vaseline in your clear plastic bag got me some attention from a security fella - so I owned it. Gave him a wink as I put everything back in my bag and minced off with my hand on my hip.

I'm going to Sportsbikeshop in Birmingham later, want to try on a new jacket for our Norway trip. As it's pissing down and not showing signs of easing, I suggested to Rose that we go to a live gig at 15.00. Plotted my route and noticed that the second leg took us through the town centre. I remembered my son in law saying that he could drive his petrol 07 Picasso in the town centre, but only by a few months due to emissions. So I went on the website to see if my 59 plate Picasso 3 diesel was also free. Robbing cunts want £8 for a single pass of a 2 mile stretch of the A38. So a detour it is then. I'm going round the M42 in case of diversions in town.
