What about the Irish doctor who had been working very hard and decided to have a long weekend away.
Rather than pay for a Locum he asks his good friend Paddy to keep an eye on things while he’s away.
So off he goes not sure how it will pan out. When he returns on Monday he meets Paddy for a coffee and an update.
Paddy said it was very quiet and only 3 patients came to see him. The first was old lady with bad headaches so he suggested Paracetamol . The doc said well done, exactly the right thing to give her, and what about the others.
Paddy tells him the second patient was a gentleman who had very bad heartburn, so paddy recommended antacid powder. Excellent said the doc, exactly what I would have done.
Now what about the third patient. Well Paddy said that was quite different. A young 30 something woman burst into his office and started furiously taking her clothes off, whilst ranting “oh dear lord I haven’t seen a man for 5 years”. Within minutes she was naked and repeating this over and over. The doc was startled and said to Paddy, well what did you do for her ?
I recommended eye drops !!
