My own is one of these - the only price we have to pay is that he does tend to run 10 - 15 minutes late.

And no, I didn't think you sounded self-pitying; quite the reverse in fact - pleased with yourself for coping with everything the day thre at you.ageing studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645590270175914544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631567898928853978.post-7759763754287737882007-10-02T13:20:00.000+01:002007-10-02T13:20:00.000+01:00Sometimes I think wisdom is knowing when good enou...Sometimes I think wisdom is knowing when good enough really is good enough<BR/><BR/>janeway<BR/><BR/>btw - for 'the shrink' - interesting icon (avatar?) you have thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631567898928853978.post-7229246175642829432007-10-02T00:21:00.000+01:002007-10-02T00:21:00.000+01:00As a slight sweetener, for attending a Mental Heal...As a slight sweetener, for attending a Mental Health Act 1983 assessment to give a mdeical recommendation at the request of the Approved Social Worker, you do still get the fee for this work even thoguht your patient was managed informally.<BR/><BR/>It's no longer centrally set and can be individually negotiated but locally it's been agreed to be the best part of £180 that GPs get for this.<BR/><BR/>After almost 12 hours toil, if CPD was on your mind I'd be reckoning it was <I><B>you</I></B> we should be assessing, for such thoughts would be utter folly :-)The Shrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009039342346247138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631567898928853978.post-63410932528548279462007-10-01T23:55:00.000+01:002007-10-01T23:55:00.000+01:00"What a lax character this Brown is!
