A recent study of electoral promises about the current NHS caused unwanted raised blood pressure.

I have been enduring some of the unwanted and unsought inadequacies possessed by those who are so

efficient being inefficient..

In early October i had a blood check for continued use of a medication - together with a flu jab.  The former

was analysed and I received a text to say the result was satisfactory and no further action was needed.

Imagine my surprise the other day then I got a text telling me I was entitled to a flu jab and to ring to arrange

an appointment or tell if i'd got one elsewhere.  At the same time my request to renew the medication relating

to my blood check and satisfactory result was blocked because I had to show that my result was

satsfactory before a renewal of the prescription was granted.  This was exacerbated by a previous

experience when - despite production of the result in person by me and a copy being made, a renewal

application for the medication was blocked because the information of the result was required before

it could be approved..

I have told my pharmacist - an unwilling middleman/witness to this farrago - that if stress got me

I only hoped it would be outside the place where such numpties are employed - supposedly on behalf

of our health!
