I'm now my own Doctor

This is just for that smile.

What is going on with the NHS, now I'm much older, they keep wanting tests, and you have to do it yourself as well. A month ago I was sent a new method to test for bowl cancer, it was better than the previous method and you then just send a single sample away for testing. (I call it put your poo in the postbox)

Now I get a kit to do my own urine test and this kit arrived. You also have to download a app to your phone, good job I had a suitable phone. See here is the kit and you have to be a contortionist to use it, well if your my size, then after using the test kit you have to scan the results and it said normal we will inform your doctor.

I am sure they are just taking the p**s, also there is one word on this kit that might sum me up - DIPSTICK. I look forward to receiving my stethoscope next and we can make all the doctors redundent.

Keep smiling.
Oh I know, after retirement it is a daily thing in the mail! I am glad soooo many people care about me..lol...lol

You are a tonic Heather…no subject not discussed! I find this a revelation & it must be an improvement but if course as long as you have the right phone! Some of us seem to be thinking about our future years & our health…..keep out of those nursing homes if possible I say!

@happypat There is no subject that I won't discuss or find something amusing about it. As long as I don't offend anyone that is important. I have been compared with my favourite comedian Sarah Millican with my naughty humour, I say no more.

@byrdlip You have to follow a demistration on your phone, you need to be an octopuss to hold everything and watch your phone.

You are such a joy to follow!
It is so important to live life with a smile -- to say the least.
Anyhow, where I live, we barely get traditional tests, whatever the age. But that is another story. Stay merry and make us laugh!

Ooh Heather I hope you put on your nurse's uniform and face mask before you precede with the procedure . these things come to try us , don't they !

@ladymagpie Yes I can see the connection…love to read all the comments here too!

@ladymagpie I would have sent it back, as I don't want to put one time use apps on my phone. :-)

Oh my! Well, if you managed all that successfully, I’d say you certainly pass the intelligence test!

Your story made me smile... as always. Thanks.

I love your sense of humour. I hope the test was successful, that a very small jar. The color coded paper would confuse me. I hope the instructions were helpful :)

It's nice that you have a distance to it. But a doctor is necessary. Someone has to create bloated documentation.
