Ross, re. teeth, my jokey reply was going to be, 'emigrate to the UK', however as the one NHS area in an utter shambles is dentistry, stay where you are. At least Annie isn't getting fat. Better to be alive and broke than rich and dead. ;) :)

You will all know of the much loved, dear old British Bobby. :) In my early years Ladybird reading books were a mainstay of infant school education. We had many in the class, all bringing on our reading skills and informing us of various worthy jobs and professions The Policeman one probably...

A young boy living on a farm comes down to breakfast. His mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet," said the lad. His mother tells him he can't have any breakfast until he does his jobs. Well, he's in a childish strop, so as he goes to feed the chickens, he kicks a chicken. He goes to...

Ghon, what a wonderful term 'naive veteran'. that really did make me LOL. :D It characterises my state of mind on finding VR.com earlier this year. Been through the surgery mill, quite knowledgeable, but needing to know more. I've had two AVRs, but know little about MVRs. Many on here do. You've...

Yes Old Clicker, finding others in a worse state than yourself does give a boost. I've had a whole heap of cardiac crap thrown my way and more looming; reading the testimonies of those who've dealt with that and more is lifting. That shouldn't take away your right to whine though. Hey we could...

Please, please, please, people don't be stupid, be informed, be responsible.:) Antibiotics are not the cure all magic bullet for a runny nose and other common cold symptoms, all too readily called 'flu. Decades of slack antibiotic prescribing, much of it done as a placebo to quieten ill...

Victor, try to stay mentally strong and focussed on a positive outcome. You do no favours to yourself, your loved ones and the medics, if you enter theatre with your head in a mess. I'm sure you will be fine. :)
