Dr. Jackson does not want it to rupture so we're doing it at the first available slot. Thursday is usually her day off.
Good luck Mel, I hope this alleviates your problem quickly.
I am slightly curious that you know the surgeon in advance. Unless it's something super specific and specialist, you get whoever you get on the day on the NHS. Doesn't bother me as they're all of a certain standard, but I could certainly tell which one of my csection surgeons was better at pretty sewing!
I would have known who my surgeon was regardless, but I am glad it's Dr. Jackson. She has volunteered with us for 4 years and had 5 free clinic patients readmitted for complications in that time. Her readmit rate at the hospital is a little higher, but not a lot. She's a good person and an excellent surgeon. (And she sews pretty from what I've seen at the clinic. Our free patients are always surprised that our docs treat them like paying patients.)
That's great of the surgeon but shocking that such a mindset even exists. Differences in necessary medical care should never be based on the individual's means to pay. Thank goodness for the NHS!
They don't expect to be treated poorly because she's a doctor. They have come to expect being looked down on because they are poor. Which is a sad comment on people everywhere.
Which is just as bad!0 -

Yes, it is. People should just be respectful of one another. Unfortunately, we are historically terrible at it.0 -

That was awesome! She does the voice so well. I'd be cracking up too hard to keep it up.1

I love how she said if you're an idiot press five! Then he's like repeat! Bwahahahaha.
Did you watch the one where she had a scammer believing she was Britney Spears at the end?

I don't know how she doesn't. The one video I was laughing my butt off when she asked the scammer where he was from. He said Texas & she said what part? He responded back with Texas.0 -

I am sore, but I have been able to make it be around more. Still eating bland food. Still taking pain meds every six hours, but hopefully I can cut that back to eight tomorrow. Thanks for asking.3 -
Confession: I am hinge watching HGTV and every time I see the Ikea commercial with the guy wearing a trash bag over his sweatsuit I want to call bingo.4

Ive been missing for a while... But I need to vent!
When I came to work at this office, I brought a nice glass bowl for heating soup, etc. My co-worker uses it every morning to make oatmeal and leaves it in his office all day... So, about a month ago I brought a second bowl. It is in another office with crusty ramen noodles. I really wanted to use MY ELFING BOWL! While I've been typing this - ramen noodle girl put the bowl in the sink and ran water in it... Did she wash it??? ELF NO!!!
I am really ready to work with people that clean up after themselves!
I leave before either of them -- I swear to DOG, that if those bowls are dirty in the sink tomorrow morning -they will disappear.3 -
I need to take a walk - this has TOTALLY gotten under my skin!5

I leave my nice bowl in my desk drawer. No one is using my bowl!3 -
I just washed the second bowl BC I really wanted tuna salad for lunch... Ramen girl just watched me wash the bowl... said nothing.
I am about to go wash it again now that I am finished with it and it is going in my desk drawer. Along with my fork and spoon. Great suggestion @quiksylver296 !
I am still FURIOUS! Hmmm, maybe I'm PMSing....

No I think your feelings are completely justified. People should clean up after themselves and watching someone clean up your own shite without saying thank you [at the very least] is completely unacceptable. You should take the other bowl as well.3
