Filing the Notes
Today we have filing the notes. Yesterday
We had regisration. And tomorrow morning
We shall have how to fit in new patients.But today,
Today we have filing the notes. Hilda
Sits in the corner, amassing the new patient records
And today we have filing the notes.
This is the Lloyd George record. And this
Is the computerised one, whose use you will see,
When you run through your audits. And this is the smart card
Which in your case you have not got. While Mary
Holds fort at the front desk, offering appointments
Which in our case we have not got.
This is a prescription, which is often repeated
With an easy press of a key. And please do not make me
See all those patients when all they want is the pill
If there is any sense in the system. Mavis will
Sort requests, issue scripts, get them signed and
Save me from seeing the patients.
And these you can see are the letters, results
>From the tests done last week. We can read them
Rapidly backwards and forwards. We call this
Communication. And rapidly backwards and forwards
They run with the tea. Anything to clear?
They call this communication.
They call this General Practice, it is perfectly easy
If you have patience and plenty of time. And patients
Will come from all over, to fill up with data
Your space. Shelves of Lloyd George. Megabytes on your disk
Which in our case we have not got. For today
We have filing the notes.
