Have you been so bluddy bored that you have given your wee friends names as they work?
I would be
How are you apart from bored senseless?

That about covers it!
The passengers only arrived today, after another bout of surgical debridement. Think there are rather too many to think of names, TBH (though a few generic unprintable ones may occur…)

Hedgers, they are meant to be helpful.
Though I suppose one might consider them parasitical…

It takes a leap of faith to regard them as symbiotic, certainly.

I am fascinated by the whole process of the use of passengers to help our Joe back to his hens
I wonder if hens would eat the passengers?
How do they keep passengers in the right place?
Would they be affected by gin?
If not I can trebuchet gin east

Dunno ‘bout the passengers, but I certainly would!
As to keeping them in place, they come in a dressing like a large teabag, which is in turn secured by a further dressing. A new system apparently - so new in fact that they were reading the instructions out while I was lying in theatre!
Oh - I had a visit from a dietitian this afternoon. Rather curious to hear her referring to the “kidney infection” that I apparently presented with in December. Think I might want to check exactly what they’ve put in my notes…

That would be a Good Idea. Take as much control of this as you can, joe - with recourse to the cavalry, of course. The maggots are blameless and probably useful, imho.

I aggree with our wee bee
I tend to grab my notes while being shoved around in a wheelie chair for all sorts of tests and things
Then I read them happily
Porters squawk about the notes being confidential
I tell them they are MY notes and I am quite good at keeping secrets!

In England you have a legal right to a copy of any medical notes.

A commonly used initialism, but I assume that this means ‘No Fairies Necessary’, Fishers?
I think that it is a Very Good Thing that we patient ones are allowed access to our medical notes, as you infer. I would ask for access to mine, were the chips down, azzitwere.
Where and how is our Carinthia? Gus?

ETA - there is our Carinthia. But how are you, Dear?

Have a go at not being on either foot, with my assistance, Carinthia. I am thinking hard about you.
And, Gus - where are you? I’ll try not to be disappointing, all the time. Just sometimes (it’s in my nature, y’know).

I gave my Consultant an updated list of my medication/allergies last week. He initialled it, & it is in with my notes
I had an ever-changing list in my diary for my Father’s

Oh to be an experiment. Most uplifting.
… & do get hold of your notes. Purloin them if need be. I find the medical profession reacts best (from the patient’s perspective) when treated as normal … if not really underlyingly quite inadequate … human beings and not being pandered to. Take no truck and be beligerent.
