Good locum then huh?

I heard today that one in three workers turn to drink for stress! Only 1 in 3 I was shocked! Would ahve thought much more than that!


My run in with a PCT was due to a pharmacist giving the wrong Rx to a patient. Trouble was it was for MST!

The patient that should have had it came back for it and of course was told she'd already had it and the Dr accused her of being an addict!

I was at the shop when the PCT rang to find out what was going on and the PCT woman started shouting at the dispenser! I spoke to her and asked why she wasn't having a go at the pharmacist or even area manager as it was a CD error. Her tone changed as she knew that she was in the wrong. I sorted the error got the Rx picked up and sent to the right person, reported the error to Head Office and apologised. The PCT woman then reported me for not taking the complaint seriously enough.

I then wrote a letter of apology which apparently didn't help! I can be twice as big a b*stard when I'm apologising as when I'm being abusive!

And that's how my anti-PCT vendetta was born!
