Well after 6 months of retirement I am going back to work for a while, so say just for 3 months to help reduce the waiting list of new patients to be seen. However, the Out Patient manager, bless her cotton sock, has away of getting you to commit to more before you have realized it! I do not know how I feel about going back (part time) I am not keen, I am enjoying myself, but when you train as a doctor you are indoctrinated with quilt if you are not seeing patients, whether it is due to ill health or retirement. Oh well it will supplement my crap pension and pay for Christmas presents.
The Health service is still going down the pan, literally with C Diff all over the place. A pal of mine went into the local hospital with D and V, samples were taken and several days went by before the results came back. When they did come back as C diff,THEN everyone gowned up and she was barrier nursed !no wonder it is spreading throughout the health service with that sort of stupidity. As it happens the hospital I work for has none of the super bugs because of good practice by everyone.
