I was asked to do a locum surgery this morning at another practice in the city. 200 squid for a morning's work is too good to pass up, even when one is already comfortably off.
Considering I have been a practicing doctor for 38 years, obviously there are very few situations that will phase me. But the computer, now that's another matter.
The practice uses a software not familiar to me; with just 10 minutes training I was at sea as soon as the first patient walked in. Add to that my failing vision and the fact that even the practice computer whizkid was unable to unable to enlarge the font, the whole session was something of a nightmare. I spent half the time apologising to patients for taking so long and assuring them I wasn't really blind. So it was not the patients, not the staff, but the verdammt computer that made sure it was a thoroughly unpleasant morning. I'd better get used to it though: I've agreed to work there again next week, and they've said they'd like to have me again after that. Oh God...
