I have no idea how computer chips have been
You are quite right!
I have no idea how computer chips have been designed and therefore they,
too, cannot be trusted. What I need is NCR paper and pencils.
Of course I need not be concerned with POCT because there are physicians
already on the wards!
Night times could be a problem but I think that the solution might be in
building up waiting lists. They have long worked in other disciplines,
so why not in ours?

Don't forget all that electronic reporting stuff
designed by geeky anoraks.You will also enjoy visitng
every ward on a daily basis to oversee every POCT test
carried out.Oh, and don't forget the nights too.
Have a good Christmas and build up your strength - I
fear you will need it.
