I mean what the hell will patients expect us to do next? "I need my toe
nails cut, my finger nails manicured, the dog needs walking and by the way,
I couldn't get the car to art this morning so I'll need a home visit, and
could the AA will be too long, so would you try fixing it?"
Having said that: Got called to see a patient who'd been on the floor all
night after his arthritic knee gave out. Sent him to hospital. What to do
with the dog? Phoned Social Services: Try the RSPCA. RSPCA: under the
National Assistance Act, it's the SS responsibility. Phoned SS: Oh yes
we'll come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon = > 24 hours later. Outcome:
You guessed it = took dog home with me. Bernie (my beagle) enjoyed trying
to mount him all night. SS came and took him next day........
