Or is it a nationwide thing?Ages ago something started playing up in my left hand so i went to the doctor and was sent to the local hospital (of sorts) waited for hours and after listening to some jibberish from a guy that only spoke 1 word of english namely "paaardon" was sent to have an X-ray,all good and went back to work to await results,eventually i was told i needed a scan done on my hand,all good until i was told that "we have the equipment to do it here" but sadly no-one that can use said equipment so i wait,and wait and yep still i wait until eventually someone sends me an appointment card from the Dunedin hospital:niceone:i think and away to dunners i go,things looked pretty good as for once it wasnt raining and i didnt need to turn the fog lights on to get there and arrived at the hospital early,i find the place i am supposed to be and wait,and wait and yep wait until this "thing" shows up and explains to me that the person on reception is sick today and how can i help,my first thought was get me outta here but thought hey this Dunedin/when in Rome etc so explained why i was there and gave it the paperwork i had.The next 8-9 minutes became a blur of disbelief/bewilderment and then at the end it became funny,the thing found my file and explained that the scan was to be done on my right hand:doh:no i said its my left hand,as you would when its your hand that was sore.No way would it accept that i was right and the notes couldnt possibly be wrong:doctor:i explained to it that"i have no problem with your sexual indecision but i do know what hand is sore" getting a blank look for my trouble i just left fully expecting someone to jump out and say "your on candid camera" but no such luck.Back to the painkillers.Health system rocks,i guess its benefitted from the labour partys "no worrys have some kids and we will pay theory".
