My last hospital experience, the doctors:

1. A middle aged asian man with not great english who ignored all hospital organisational structure to take me where he decided I should be. he was right but that isnt how the hospital worked so I had to go back to the beginning and start again. His junior(?) colleagues criticised him infront of me and were very dismissive of him. He blamed me and told them I told him this was where I was told to go. An understandable liar

2. an arrogant young doctor who preferred to laugh it up with the other staff than do his job, almost sent me home to die. A oval office

3. two or three (?drugs?) interchangeable consultants (?) who seemed very good and knowledgeable but disappeared out the door before I could get a word in. Holiday plans

4. A handsome young doctor who did I guess my exit interview. Without particularly meaning to I was able to order him about and had him run some extra blood tests on me once he explained what my situation was. Diligent and without ego.

just nothing really, but I would miss you Njan99 if you stopped posting

NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:
My most memorable experience with a doctor was at my cousins wedding two years ago. He was similar age to me and I was sat next to him at the meal and he was very dismissive toward his girlfriend/fiancee/wife whatever and I was asking him about his work and one of the things he said was he was glad he worked at a hospital instead of a gp cuz at a hospital he actually gets to treat people instead of dealing with time wasters. What a nice man.

Sweary lady, muscle psycho and other lead guy hardly in it.

I made it through the first series but loving hell it was badly acted. It was like Prequel Trilogy George Lucas was on set shouting "No! More wooden! Less life!" between takes

This is my brother-in-law. He treats me and my parents like poo poo. Because he can. Because he knows we will pick up the slack in tearms of childcare.

I remember once coming downstairs and hearing him instruct my sister to 'Make me a coffee'

No way would my sister take this language from anyone else but she took it from him.

I loving hate my bro-in-law and he must die.

Ubers really annoying to work for because it doesn't show you the customers location before accepting a order. It kinda sucks on a bicycle or even a ebike.

One of my various past NHS jobs was organizing the weekly meetings where the consultants all sit round and discuss cancer cases and treatment plans

My area was urology and luckily for me every urologist I dealt with was friendly and chill. I've learned that this is probably the exception rather than the norm, my colleague that did the colorectal meeting had to deal with a bunch of angry arseholes (fittingly enough)

I'll be played by some former hunk whose star has faded in a pointless "hard-hitting" realistic drama about how, sometimes, the people we really need to be quarantined from are in fact ourselves. He will gain considerable weight for the role and develop an alcohol problem, winning an Oscar nomination for his troubles before getting fit again and starring in a.) the next Marvel film or b.) The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel.

my wife is now into sea shanty tiktok and was surprised i was singing along to a bunch of them

mostly i had flashbacks to chasing those loving bits of paper

assassins creed games would be great to replay if you could choose to start new game plus with all of the collectables already collected, all the outposts unlocked

like if you start a new game and there are options like:

❎ main quest
✅ side quests
❎ unlockables
❎ map points

so you could choose what stuff you want to do

assassins creed origins is the best one, i have very fond memories of brotherhood but i suspect if i went back to replay it it would probably feel janky

I'm unable to play any open world games without collecting every tiny little thing. At least by black flag it was all marked on the map

I sometimes miss the older ones where you were an unstoppable chain killing murder machine but that mechanism did make it a bit silly at times

You'd hate seeing me play open world games then, I don't care about collecting anything. It's one of the things I like about GTA V, even after seven years they are super conservative about sprinkling collectables around the map.

Reading the 'outrage' about this poor bloke photographed peeing against the back wheel of his John Lewis delivery vehicle,

https://twitter.com/DailyMirror/status/1349850481707900935?s=20


I googled:

https://www.insurancerevolution.co.uk/blog/weird-british-driving-laws-truth-or-myth/

A couple of particularly interesting bits:

quote:

2) It is legal for a man to urinate in public, as long it is against the rear offside wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

Although this is widely reported as fact, this is actually not true. There is no general law forbidding urination in public, although it is often an offence under local bylaws. The same is true of the oft-cited ‘law’ that pregnant women are allowed to urinate in a policeman’s helmet. There is no law allowing or forbidding such a practice, but local authorities are expected to exercise discretion in these cases. So, while there is no law forbidding a pregnant woman from urinating into a policeman’s helmet, a policeman is unlikely to offer her such an opportunity.


quote:

4) It is illegal to flag a taxi if you have the plague

This one can be described as half true. Under The Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984, anyone known to be suffering from a disease, including plague, may not enter a taxi without first notifying the driver of their ailment. The taxi driver can then decide whether or not they would like to carry the passenger. A bus driver, who of course carries more than one passenger, must refuse the infected person. Therefore, while there is no specific law prohibiting people infected with plague from flagging a taxi, such rules are in place for persons with infectious diseases in general.
