Oh, there you are!

17 February 2009

Better work.

A couple of very sick elderly persons.
The normal nursing home poor care stuff, Hot, Coughing and Drowsy.

Two very likely chest pains. Both from a different Doctors Surgery and both getting active treatment from the Dr until we arrived.

The level of care shown to some patients with chest pain is below par at all too many surgeries. We arrive to find the patient sitting in the waiting room with other patients, No aspirin, No oxygen, No gtn, No supervision, a letter scratched by a blind chook.

So when we find a good Dr we make sure that we tell them and reinforce to the patient that they have a very special doctor.


Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
