It was fine, he said. Nothing much, he said. Just dead skin, he said < beady glare>
Delighted to hear of better sleep and bloods.
Mwah!

Respec’. That takes a pro, that does.
The hotel in North is as shabby as ever but at least the heating mostly works.

It was a fair chunk of dead skin; I just wasn’t aware of quite how much until they came along to attach the robovampire. Up to that point all I could see was the post-op dressing.

Caught in another of the HSE’s weird bureaucratic impasses. The robovampire is not available to private outpatients, but if I were on a medical card I’d probably be home tomorrow! Instead, I’m cluttering up a much-needed bed. Insane

Concealed Allergens. Detected in seconds by a finely honed Piscine early warning system and Dealt With.
No cause for alarm.
joe, that is bonkers but not somehow surprising. Grrr

There is likely to be a long letter to a certain S Harris TD detailing some of the stupidities inherent in the system. Basically, they’re all down to the policies of creeping US-style privatisation of healthcare pursued by successive governments. Where once a hospital would maintain its own ancillary staff, those jobs are now subcontracted out to the private sector, who “employ” staff on zero-hours contracts. Then of course said workers are required to be properly certified for the jobs they do; the upshot is a “closed shop” system even more rigid than the one that they thought they were doing away with…

Well of course I didn’t mean anyone who posts here, but I suspect there have been spies…

Who would have thought that replacing exploited workers with even-more-exploited workers plus a new layer of greedy corporate overlords would get more expensive? Well, everyone who didn’t get all their ideas from Stupid CEO Magazine apparently.

Joe I know exactly what you mean
I have been hung onto (whether on insurance or medical card) because I have to have injections when my blood is misbehaving
I am perfectly capable of stabbing myself
In fact better than medics cos I know where in hurts in my abdomen
And I decant numerous preloaded needles into 1 syringe so I do not have to stab myself more than once
My blood testing machine is a buy yourself jobbie and the test strips cost a bit
But the time saved is amazing
No doctor’s time involved in getting the sample
No courier needed to take the sample to the lab
No lab person needed to test it
No doctor needed to interpret and prescribe according to the result
Just a pinprick and a text to and from the main vampires in Dublin
It saves time therefore money
BUT
The beancounters refuse to pay for the machines
Madness utter madness

Anyhoo, and onna positive note, M had fantastic, no expense spared, care at end-of-life. Really.
I have been, once again, ‘on logistics’. Dear reader, I have aced this - I bluddy hope.
That Poodle has very upset guts, so DD will be travelling down for M’s funeral on her own. DS has written a poem, which he insists he’ll be able to deliver. The Chaplain will be happy to join us forra bit of food, after the main event. Mr Bee izz hangin’ in there and all izz calm in the hive.
joe - you are, at times, a master of understatement. Azza very buzzy bee, I’d like to have a look under That Dressing, but we haven’t yet been properly introduced.

I’ll just kwoffit and skip the whole wire brush thing. Seriously, I can’t be ill for at least a week. Not an option - no, no, no.
