Updated Oct 25, 2009 at 01:05 PM by ayla2004

ill try to look at hem sharrie.
we now have a 2nd cons his spr and 2 sho who seem nice. both consultanrt pt will be reviiwed on wr q daily and 3 con lead wr a week.l it sounds great as at times our lack of medical cover meant only urgent acute sepsis etc needs were met and any
non urgent but important to patietn well beingh were delayed. i had the spr today review a pt i had asked to be seen regading depression last week, pt is now started on antidepressant so something is being tried.

oh wating to get my littman delivered
