M0nica's back!

Good grief M0nica that truly is shocking, your poor daughter! I do often think that Covid causes far more deaths than those with Covid - 'collateral damage' as you say. Thank the Lord your daughter was not counted among them. I hope she continues on the road to recovery

Thank you both FarNorth and Chewbacca.

Wonder where FlyingHandbag is gone? ?
Bet nobody would say "Where's BlueSky"?

FlyingHandbag left because of the new GN terms & conditions, then decided they weren't so bad and came back with a new name.
Sorry, I've forgotten her new name.

That is shocking MOnica, and so preventable. I do worry that with telephone consultations being the norm now since Covid, and likely to continue, that serious symptoms will be missed. I think GPs have to be very skilled in triaging patients to ensure that this doesn’t happen.

Look for a lady in her garden with a dog and a glass of wine or GandT that ll find you nannygoeshopping x

Light blue touch paper and retire bluesky

Welcome back MOnica - thought you had fallen off the perch very glad to see you back.

I'll look out for you too Luckylegs!

Very pleased

Welcome back MOnica !

It never occurred to me when I dropped out that people would notice so much, otherwise I would have let you know that I was bowing out temporally, and possibly permanently.

We all avoided COVID but DD came close to being collateral damage. Three pieces of advice for GPs. 1) If someone is losing blood always order a blood test 2) When you do not order the blood test for 2 months and the result then shows the patient's blood is virtually iron-free, do not say to the patient that they could have a fatal heart attack at any moment, it very nearly caused it. 3) Do not tell someone who lives alone to take themselves to A&E immediately if they have said heart attack, faint/blackout, or feel very dizzy. They are unlikely to be able to do so.

Anaemia is a common problem and easily treated, but as we now know, it can be fatal if not treated. DD is well on the way to recovery, but she is looking for a new GP.

I can guarantee that no one will EVER ask about where I am!

Thank you BlueSky ?

MOnica how great that you’re back, have missed your sensible and balanced take on things. Very relieved because we thought you’d got the dreaded virus!

I'll look out for you Nannylovesshopping!

Pleased to see you back MOnica, we were quite worried when you no longer posted.

Glad to see you are back Monica, hopefully to stay.

Good to see you back, M0nica. You were always a voice of reason and calm in those barmy, early lockdown days.

Hello again M0nica
I'm glad you decided to return

Glad you are aboutBlueSky nobody ever asks where I am, but I know where I am, most of the time that is? tbh tho I don’t post very often.

Thanks Lisa! Why brave for enquiring about FH? Have I missed something?

Disappear for a week, BlueSky and I’ll put a thread up asking where you are.........

You’re brave asking about FH.

Good news.

Welcome back MOnica.
