Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Queen Victoria]

Nice one ren:)

And I may not have met your/PR's doctor, QV, but  I like him already. my main GP is something like that, although we of course have the NHS here. But unlike many others I've known, he is actually a kindly man, with a good manner as well as simply being employed to stitch up broken bits of people. A lot of them seem to concern themselves only with the welfare of the body itself, and don't particularly care for the suffering or lack thereof, of what lives in it, too many will leave the inhabitant of said body to its misery when they can easily do something to alleviate it, this guy won't. Was the only one who actually went and made sure I had some adequate pain relief after my hurting my eye. One of them outright accused me of either faking/lying in order to get something to abuse (when mind you, I'd had the eye examined in detail by specialists and the damage confirmed with their own two working eyes, or doing the damage myself (I.e deliberately) for the same reason. Stupid fucking bitch, incompetent cow too, once scripted me co-amoxiclav seconds to a minute or two after asking if I had any allergies and being told that I was allergic to penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics. And another one I managed to, after a long and persistent effort, drag a few oxy 10s out of him, but bitched at me for coming back after my regular GP told me instead of using oral analgesia to deal with the eye using topical local anaesthetic drops, which I knew to  be precisely the wrong way to go about it (overuse can damage the eye), and then after seeing the eye people again to confirm that from their own mouths, coming back the day after my regular GP, not having the correct information to go on to base his decision on not to then provide further oral opioid analgesia coverage, bitched me out for coming when that regular doc said no, but that decision being made based upon faulty, if well-meaning information. As soon as that regular GP, the decent guy, KNEW that, he changed his mind straight away.

If a decision is made meaning well but based upon faulty information, and is thus the wrong decision, then it should be re-evaluated should it not?

Dr. Zaveri sent his wife and children to Houston during Hurricane Katrina and he stayed at the hospital.  Of course, no electricity, street flooding, etc.  After the street flooding he spent 3 days at the triage station dealing with the evacuees from New Orleans.  Went to his office and cleaned out the drug samples to use there.  After that he went to the airport to help there, but because he wasn't on the approved doctor list, they couldn't use him.  Finally, after a week, he got to Houston and his family.

P.S.  His wife, Dimple, is our eye doctor.

Found a very nice Dooney & Bourke bag at the thrift shop for $1.00...it's not been to hell and back and it's not a knock-off.

Sounds like the kind of dr the world needs more of QV.

More medics like that and less of the stone-faced twats, rude insensitive arseholes like the optician that kept digging her damned fingernails into my eyes to pry my eyelids open, and having a go at me for not looking where she wanted during the slit-lamp examination and having to rest and clear my eyes often. Especially after I had to explain to her that one of the eyedrops I'm using at the moment paralyses the muscles that move the eye and adjust the lens&pupil size.

Did at least manage to swipe a load of local anaesthetic eyedrops the moment the little bitch left the room. Didn't give a damn about my being in pain either. And with the slit-lamp exam, it basically involves shining an intense light into the eye whilst the dr on the other end of it looks through a magnifier, and she expected me not to rest my eyes in between examining different parts? because for fucks fucking sake, even now, and its healing somewhat, I have to wear an eye-patch stuffed with paper towel to block the light from the computer screen, even in a darkened room where that is the only light source, and wear a pair of welding goggles over the top of the  paper towel-stuffed eye patch, as well as both use some of the local drops that the bitch so kindly...donated....and my regular GP has been making sure I have enough pain coverage to get through this, thankfully.

The fact your one is going that for the PR, well it makes me like him already:D

  He sounds like an excellent citizen!  He's one of George Bush's "thousand points of light." * 

    * Not a Bush fan, just thinking the phrase fits here.

Thousand points of light? that was more likely his brain cells short circuiting.

I had the day off!

[Lestat]

My burnt eye is becoming somewhat less irritated.


Arrrhhh matey...this be helping too

[Lestat]

Sounds like you and PR got lucky. Too many doctors these days can be utter dicks, incompetent, or both.

And if he's done that for PR, he's definitely in my good books:)

Is that a sword or are you happy to see us?

Looking good.

  Nothing like your own bed.

No I didn't mean phosphenes CBC, I was thinking since there are so few of said brain cells and spaced so far apart, that there would be arcing between them, shorting out and burning away what miserably few brain cells bush has left. He might LOOK like a chimp, but I wouldn't credit him with anywhere near that level of intellectual capacity. Your average flatworm could probably beat him in a chess match. At least until bush throws the board to the floor and starts bawling and screaming when he starts to lose.

And QV, you two decide that for yourselves. Its definitely a sword, but thats not to say I'm not....pleased to see yous:autism:

And thanks QV. I just hope I am as appealing to both of you:)

It's good to be back home. And a bit odd.
