No-one was arrested today sadly. I suppose it's not a bad thing - surely business would be slow with all the patients in jail. But there wasn't much excitement really. Well a man got angry because some of his photos weren't back. And I didn't get a lunch break. But that was more painful than exciting.
Oh and the cream debacle continued. There is a major national shortage of steroid creams and ointments. All brands and types and strengths. So whenever someone brings in a prescription for one I inwardly (and sometimes outwardly) groan at the thought of explaining to someone who doesn't speak English (many patients at my work don't) that the cream their doctor prescribed is unavailable but this morning 2 tubes of another vaguely related cream arrived and I can ask the doctor to change them to that one. At one point I offered to make some calamine lotion for someone but they were in a hurry and said they'd get it elsewhere. Hah! You can't get it elsewhere!
So yes, a day of being yelled at by angry Italians, Poles (Poles? People from Poland...) and cyclists.
