I usually screen all home visits but I was away last week on a
course and was feeling less jaundiced than usual this morning
so when there was a request to visit for an old dear with a sore
throat and "feeling grotty" I thought I'd surprise everyone and
just go without asking any questions.
Imagine my surprise [(c)Viz] when, having dealt with the
presenting complaint (uncomplicated URTI), I was handed a long
list of repeat prescriptions and asked: "...while you're here,
Doctor..."
A few methyldopa tablets and my blood pressure was soon back
to normal...
