So…I am back home.
Just had to show you the lovely flowers my friend sent me.
Aren’t they gorgeous?
I am typing this on my laptop.
My PC just died on me this afternoon.
Just as I was starting my blog.
Mex is going to drop it off with my IT guy in the morning.
I think it is still under guarantee.
Maybe it is fed up with my posts.
I missed the hospital last night.
No-one brought me a menu.
No-one brought me a cup of, not very nice, tea at bedtime.
No-one took my bllodpressure and asked me how I was feeling.
Instead…..
As soon as I walked in Mex asked me what was for supper.
So I cooked.
But he washed up.
Think I got the better deal.
However, the first thing I did was to go for a walk.
I felt great today.
The doctor booked me off for the rest of the week.
For once, I am following doctor’s orders.
This could be a long post.
If you have a short attention span…leave now.
Something happened on Tuesday that really upset me.
I told you about the lady in the bed opposite me.
The one with the mental capacity of about a ten year old.
On Tuesday her doctor walked in.
I use the word DOCTOR very loosely
He stood at the end of her bed.
Didn’t even close the curtains.
Announced they had found a cyst on her ovaries.
Said she would have to see a gynae.
Her eyes went wide and she asked(in a quavery voice) if she had to have an operation.
His reply?
“Talk to the gynae”
And he walked out without even saying goodbye.
She asked me why he had been so rude.
Mex walked in and she lay quietly for half an hour and then it was too much.
She sobbed and sobbed.
Mex left.
Hurriedly.
I comforted her as best I could.
And then the nurses took over.
And I went off and reported him to the hospital client services.
Who were very nice.
The bastard needs to have his licence revoked.
With immediate effect.
I am not a doctor but even I know he could have shown some empathy.
Dr. Letier…..shame on you.
Ok…I have much more to talk about but I will spare you today.
More to follow tomorrow.
Mwah.
p.s.
I don’t have e-mail on my laptop so I will have to visit everyone’s blogs over the weekend.
Glad to hear that you are on the mend Granny. That doctor must have skipped his bedside manner classes1

I’m so glad you’re home and feeling better, Granny! Mex actually made you cook?! Yikes! That wouldn’t fly well in our home.
You were that poor woman’s guardian angel on earth. It’s so wonderful that you cared for her when that horrible doctor was so unsympathetic. Can you imagine being his patient? How does he even get patients?? It’s great that you reported him, I hope the hospital does something about his disgusting attitude.
Your flowers are GORGEOUS. Welcome home! I missed you! π

I am so glad to hear you are back home sweetie and I bet Jasmine really missed you a lot. Seems Mex missed his home cooked meals more! LOL!
Oh, good for you! I would have done the same! His licence should be revoked and they should send him to some far away land where there is no water or any sexy women! The *&&%&$^#&#^!!! Sorry! π
Anyways, it’s great to see you here again and see those lovely photo’s! Now I will sleep better too and not worry so much about you and Jasmine.
*big hugs to both of you*

That is one very wack doctor!! My gosh, I can’t even begin to imagine what she must have felt like for such news to be carelessly tossed at her. Shame on him!
Glad you’re back home and feeling better. Yes! Follow those orders π That way you get to enjoy those beautiful flowers.

that doctor is a bloody, errr not printable. What an insensitive asshole!
“As soon as I walked in Mex asked me what was for supper.” I laughed out loud. I think MEx and Mr Piglet are related!

HI Piglet…does Mr.Piglet also ask what is for supper the next night while he is eating supper?

Oh, Granny, thank God you reported the man. How inhumane and callous! It can’t even be said he has no bedside manners because he wasn’t even bedside present!
I’m so glad you were there for her.

Hi Souldipper….I phoned her Mom last night…she says she is out of hospital and back at the home she lives in…she will be much happier.
Am glad I foud that out…I was going to pop in and visit her on the way to the airport tomorrow.

Gorgeous flowers…..and WHAT a dreadful doctor! I cannot tolerate a doctor without a good bedside manner. The two go hand in hand. Good for you granny for reporting him to client services!!I do hope they react to your complaint. So glad to hear you are back home granny. Did you get my sms? Will try chat soon…been hard to do that with the oral surgery. Much love and keep healing well. I am sure Tom and Jasmine, not to mention Mex hehe, are glad to have you home xxx

Sad to say, it happens a lot. To doctors, patients are often their illnesses, not people. Glad you were there for her.
I’m shocked that Mex didn’t have a takeaway for you, at least.
