So this morning I get this flyer in the mail from the 'Gentle Procedures Clinic' asking me to sign & pay up, be surgically trained and join the franchise. Seems like minor cosmetic stuff. It comes from Patently Bollocks Vancouver Canada. I'll have to turn down this marvelous business opportunity, as I am already under contract with the Brutal Procedures Clinic.
Cheers, Mike.

I went to Canada and Vancouver for 12 days last september and found it a fantastic place, but was amazed at how Frenchified and multi-ethnic it is as a city, even bearing in mind that it is a two language nation. "Gentle Procedures Clinic" sounds like "lay back and enjoy while we plunder your wallet with the final bill". Minor cosmetic stuff I assume is nose straightening, droopy eyelids fixing, crows feet removal etc etc. The game to be in is the boobs one. Half the world want them bigger, the other half want them smaller, always in work there :-))
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

Using The Law Of Averages then, it all works out nicely. What they may not understand in VanHoover is that you have to have the requisite negligence/malpractice coverage relevant to your activities. DownUnda in the cosmetic area you'll have no change from $50K per anum premium - straight off the brick bat. I work in a region of either low or doubtful socioeconomic leverage, to be polite. The cheapest that could be afforded for such cosmetic work is to pay someone to break your nose at back of pub. Nice work if you can get it.
Cheers, Mike.

Strewth that is some premium and some!! But I suppose in Harley Street in London that is pocket money. But the cosmetic business has it's downsiides as in liposuction, various nip & tucks, "tightening", procedures that seem to be in demand by young and old alike. But you have to have the posh clinics to go with it of course. Another angle is the growing acceptance of gender changing ops. Not one for the squeamish I guess, but a growing source of work it seems.
A lot to be said for being a humble General Practitioner, and leaving the esoteric stuff to others.
Patient - It hurts every time I press here.
Doctor - Well don't do it then!
Next!!!

A young boy was having pain in his eye and he complained to his mother. So his mother took him to the eye doctor to have him examined. The eye doctor found nothing wrong with the exception of some redness around his right eye. So the doc sent them to get an xray. Nothing. So he ordered an MRI. Nothing. So he ordered a CAT scan. Nothing. So the doc concluded nothing was really wrong with him. Total cost - 6000 dollars.
The next month it was time for the young boy's back to school physical. He told the doc (a kindly old country type doc) that he felt good except for this pain in his eye. The doc ask which one and was told the right eye. He gave it a look and said it looks a bit red, but I see no damage.
Then the doc says, if memory serves, you like hot cocoa, right? The boy smiles and says yes. The boy's mother thinks he's just making conversation with the boy and makes no comment. The doc sits back and asks the boy if he likes baseball. The boy gets a big grin on his face and says he loves baseball. Doc then asks which hand he throws with. Right hand. Right hand? Really? Well there's your problem right there.
The mother asks what baseball has to do with anything. Doc explains.
The boy is right handed. So he stirs his cocoa with his right hand, then forgets to take the spoon out of the cup. When he takes a drink, the spoon in the cup pokes him in the right eye.
But an example of how inside the box some modern Dr's are and how the 'old country docs' often found answers to problems without all the new fangled tests!! Sometimes newer Dr's think everything can be found out thru tests instead of actually spending time with their pt's, this is becoming more and more the norm and causing more and more people to see the same Dr less often and say 'they don't LISTEN to me anymore'.

From my experience it's
Doctor - "Does it hurt here" while poking near to where Docter operated.
Unless you have a special need for team viewer, VNC is pre-installed on the PI and does a very good job. It also can be configured with extra security.
I want Teamviewer for various reasons. I already have it on my other computers. It has access through their web site without installing it on the computer where the user is. And I tried to set up VNC once and couldn't get anywhere with it.
