I very rarely visited my doctor until i had a heart attack and was diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetic, back in 2009. At my first appointment with him on leaving hospital, he greeted me with, "Hi, Ken. Not seen you in quite a while."
I said, "No, Doc, i've been ill."
Ken 2009 is a year to remember for me. My mum was in hospital for three weeks and I was at the hospital ever day and many nights. Hospital is 30 plus miles away. Mum died , mums funeral and a week later Mr T had a major heart attack , so back to hospital everyday for a week. Two weeks later Mr T back in hospital for two weeks under observation.
proof of the value of the NHS.
thingey
Bevin 1948 ACTUALLY argued that for the NHS
£120m to kick off and cure everyone
and thereafter the cost wd fall
They so well see
Kicked off at 150m and rose thereafter
now 100-120 bn
I don't visit the doc's unless i have a 'shopping list' of ailments. Right now, my lower back is giving me jip - thought my back was gonna 'lock' whilst in the shower earlier - but, being the brave little/roughty-toughty* soldier i am, i'll wait to see how it develops:-)
*delete where you think is applicable - but don't bother telling me:-))
A woman told her doctor she was constipated. Have you tried anything he asked. Yes she said I sit on the toilet for three quarters of an hour, No said the doctor do you take anything? Of course she said I take a book.
but more sarcastic perhaps. It just strikes me as odd that a question can get two completely opposite answers and both are good jokes. Some humorologist will have to explain it to me.
