My job: Expectation vs RealityWhen I worked as a window cleaner, everybody - and I mean everybody - I knew asked me the "how's yer father" question. The truth was that I was always knackered and freezing, and the only nudity I saw was some fat bloke's arse. Tell us how your work differs from the expectation.
Thanks to Rotating Wobbly Hat for the idea

You mean the GP refers them to the relevant department as outpatients. Seems reasonable.(

Of course, my GP's surgery handles lots of A&E type cases as they don't want to burden the hospitals.(

^Your GP surgery must be 1 in a 100 - fair play to them. We only had someone a couple of days ago whom attended our A&E with a tiny paper cut. Elf n safety stated they must attend A&E for treatment. Which involved a plaster.
One thing that REALLY REALLY winds me up though is the proliferation of so called dementia specialist care homes who dump patients into A&E / hospital because said patient is having a slight dip in behavioral issues (common as day and night with dementia) and they cannot (?WTF - see "dementia specialist care home) cope with them.
Patient gets admitted for say a week or two, but still charge top full whack for so called "care" even though the patient is not with them.

Most common reason I've encountered for "dip in behavioural issues" referrals for the demented......is suprisingly enough UTIs.
Puts the poor buggers right off their feed and when they become dehydrated a spell on the ward on a drip plus antibiotics is a real lifesaver.
It's negative outcomes from private elective cosmetic procedures (face, tits & lipo) being dumped on the NHS to clear up gives me the shits.
