So I pop into the chemist and they read it with no problem :eek: Is it shorthand or what :)

I hope I got the right tablets :!:

No it's a state sponsered con, you always get the same placebos !!
 
Yes, it's rather arcane for those of you not in the know, but for those of us that are, quite simply the prescription is for Germaloids! Ouch!
 
It reads '' This guy has an itch that can only be treated by steroid cream. He was very reluctant to say where he has been in the last 48 hours but i think we all know where ;) ''

gaviscon pleeeeeeeese :rolleyes:
 
I went to hospital last week with chest pain and the consultant told me I was imagining it!
 
Had a mate in army who had constant bad headaches. Kept going to the doc about it and after about 4 months they thought he was lying until they eventually sent him for a scan and they found out he had a tumour the size of a tennis ball. We know when something is wrong so why do people try to inform us there is nothing wrong.

Now we all know first-year students are the main group of people who get meningitis...

Back in my first year, several people died of meningitis within weeks of each other. Thing was, they were in the same circles of friends as many people in my hall. One guy came down with several symptoms including the aching neck. He went straight to the doctor, but despite the panic was only allowed to see the nurse. She told him to stop wasting her time!

Luckily it wasn't meningitis as he is still alive 6 years later, but it didn't really fill me with confidence at the time!

David, get a second opinion, a third opinion etc... my Mum had a basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) on her chest. The first 3 doctors said it was ecsema. The fourth said "you don't get ecsema there, I'm lopping that off". Sent it off for biopsy and sure enough, it wasn't ecsema. Luckily benign, but if she had taken the word of the first 3 doctors things would have turned out a lot worse.

I love the nhs. I am going to see an orthopaedic consultant on Tuesday, regarding a knee injury I sustained 3 months ago... Luckily I paid lots of money and had physio privately, but I am getting a f**king MRI scan of the joint if I have to chain myself to the machine... on second thoughts that would be a really bad idea, what with the superconducting magnets and that. :LOL:

No, no no. It read:

"This bloke is a hypochondriac. Give him something that will make him think twice about coming back soon!"
 
Nah ... "Bung him some tabs ... you might get a few gallons of red D ;) "

:D
 
I went to my doctors the other day with a sore throat

He sent me to the vet as i was a little horse.
