He started out by saying "Well, Mrs ****, with your husband's history of heart trouble, we are..." and tailed off when he realised we were staring at him blankly. <br /><br />He had the wrong patient's notes in his hands...JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-73192331281410345652009-06-13T15:22:40.754+01:002009-06-13T15:22:40.754+01:00Demetrius: a sensible precaution, and one I unrese...Demetrius: a sensible precaution, and one I unreservedly recommend - my family have adopted similar measures since we began to experience the failings of the NHS clerical system.<br /><br />The rapid expansion of NHS bureaucracy under New Labour has, I think, inevitably imported a lot of dead wood, being paid by the hour regardless of efficiency (or the lack thereof). How we set about clearing it, I have no idea; I suspect clerical staff have a mighty and vociferous union and a clean sweep is out of the question.<br /><br />The most galling thing of all is that, unlike the patients whose ends have been hastened by their inefficiency, these receptionists and secretaries can look forward to a long and affluent retirement on tax-payer-funded pensions.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-86476825216677739372009-06-13T14:35:52.867+01:002009-06-13T14:35:52.867+01:00Thanks to the computer, I have a document, regular...Thanks to the computer, I have a document, regularly updated, which has my essential details, and a full medical history and a photograph.

So I know what is in the file, and more important, they know that the file they are looking at refers to me. Also, when I turn up and no file is to be found, we can make do with my records. It is much better, being readable, properly structured, succinct, saves a huge amount of time and avoids errors.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.com
