What is happening to us?

These days when we cut our finger or sneeze we run off to the Hospital to get checked up

And after we have sat for more than 4 hours with the rest of the waiting room, we get told take some Panadol and you will be OK in the morning.

Why do we do this?

Why do we waste not only our time but the Public health system.

I can remember a few times in my Youth when I spilled some claret. Mostly when I was under the influence of alcohol I may add. And the worst thing was that I was still in Pain.

I got my finger caught in a car door……….A bandage and some gauze fixed that one, oh and some Dettol

Pool cue in the wrist. A bandage and some gauze, oh and some Dettol.

Both were put on by my sister, who just laughed at me as I remember. No sympathy. Just told to shut up it wasn’t all that bad.

I could go on,

But as Billy Connolly always said that the cure for everything was Wire brush and Dettol, that was the War cry.
