You're a bundle of fun today.
Maybe al...Jeez.<br /><br />You're a bundle of fun today.<br /><br />Maybe all the other health care professionals are ganging up on you? Or is that just your paranoia talking?<br /><br />Or maybe they've had their fill of the so called clinical freedom accorded medical practitioners that in reality equates to poor practice and even poorer treatment?<br /><br />In reality you can prescribe what you like - for your private patients. Publicly funded treatments tends to have a higher bar than just the medical practitioners biased judgement these days.<br /><br />F'ing Shopkeeper<br />or<br />Some Numptie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
