Good! We'd have been a lot better off for years if everyone attending health appointments didn't turn up with half a dozen hangers on.

In January I went to my local hospital for urgent bloods, not been their before I usally have them a surgery, or outreach in a church near the city centre. I could no believe how busy it was an 1 1/2 wait, no seats free, despite room being largish, I had stand up for a while feeling rough. Lots people seemed to be taking a ticket and then coming back late. People did seem to have lots of hangers on.

HI Tropywrench

Thank you for your comments
yes indeed but as you may have seen i was not happy to go ,
but glad i did as it solved a reason why i could not get RANTDINE of my local docs as it has been stopped production ,and the Doc explained why i should go on the replacement drug , to stop acid build up in my gut
and as he said if we look at every drug side effects we would not take them .
keep up the good .
work ,...........
as you will face LOT S OF K 19 PROBLEMS and lots of reasons why we can not do normal life in the next 4 months i am sure vic

Plus, like you say, they were in isolation. Well done. Another hurdle out of the way.
