Daft question of the day!, chemo question and flu vaccine pr

Hello Hilts,

                 sadly the days of wielding a physical big stick to get some common sense are no longer an option, but a metaphorical one might work just as well.

A conversation with your local paper along the lines of suffering cancer patient left exposed due flu jab fiasco might elicit some column inches, a positive response might even be forthcoming before print if the paper approaches your surgery/health board for a comment.

Sad though to have to resort to such measures, but never underestimate the power of a well placed word,

Thanx.

The improtant stuff first - Your cat is sooo cute! What breed is s/he.  We have a cat, known to us as 'the bird botherer' (:.  She is a moggy, but has a large amount of norweigan forest in her, with a bit of tabby. During this whole thing, she has kept us laughing! with her antics and demands!

 Yes, the flu thing is absolutley diabolical- Husbands surgery has loads of it in, BUT as he isn't going to go down there , they are really 'squabbling' about who is the 'best placed' to give it!!!!. I couldn't care less who is or isn't best placed , just bloody do it!!!!. Put it in the post, shove it through the letter box, we'll give it !!- just do it........arrrrgggg. (:, a district nurse even comes out every week for the PICC line, so it is not about home visiting and covid.  We are quite on the case, but i really feel for people who are very unwell and vulnerable.  While the nhs is brilliant at doing wonders with 'serious' stuff like cancer, heart, etc.  The follow up, low level stuff and 'outside the box' stuff is just a joke!!

yES, the pharmacist is there,

BUT- my husband has decided to 'self sheild' because his white cells/ neutrophils are seriously low.

So, if he woudl go out to the surgery or anywhere else they woudl give it no problem.  The problem is with who will do it at home! Practice nurses don't home visit, District nurses do, but they don't get 'paid' for it and it is not their 'responsibility'! At this rate i'll ask the binmen or milkman, they have been far more use recently than the GP practice!!!!
