more craziness

well 2 days out from leaving... all crazy... just all seems to be a lot of hassle.
so this morning i tried to do an online checkin and the web system was having a dummy spit at me... said i have to go to the airport to check-in... argh

it's been busy at work with lots of patients trying to catch me before i go. and i'm gonna miss so many of them. one patient is an awesome cook. today he decided to bring me some honey soy chicken wings. and because i am going to the uk, he decided to make me something british... i think it was a scotch egg.

so you boil and egg. then dip it in batter and then wrap sausage meat around it. then dip it in egg wash and breadcrumbs and then deep fry... ok sounds kinda gross but it was actually very yummy.

hehehe then i got talking with another patient this morning about food. she's hilarious cos she's an older lady with a dependant partner. so she was telling me about how she learned to cook from a show called 'yan can cook'. ok so a bit of an old show but it used to be hilarous. yan just came up with the strangest recipes.
so this lady was telling me about how she boiled her pork belly in coca cola... no joke coca cola... apparently it was so nice and tender. but seriously coca cola... oh i was laughing for ages...
i'm still laughing thinking about it... and far out... yan can cook. the guy was so corny... one show he was teaching ppl how to make won ton soup. so he boiled the soup and was adding the won ton's and he was saying "one ton, two ton, tree ton..." (chinese acccented of course). oh dear... as corny as a dad joke...

so today i also got really upset... i had to make a very difficult phone call. the things you have to do... so had been having a hard time with a difficult patient. i'm glad she wasnt booked in to see me cos i dont have time for this... but in the last week she's booked 3 appointments with eric and missed all 3... and she was booked in for next week. so i just pointed out to her that her track record wasnt good and that we have a few options: i can refer her elsewhere more convenient to her if she has trouble coming to my clinic, we can charge her a cancellation fee if she doesnt give sufficient notice or she can just not make a future appointment and can just call up on the day if she knows she is free and we will fit her in if we can. anyway so she took it very well and apologised for everything and it should hopefully be ok now. i just needed to make that call before going cos otherwise poor eric is busy and she takes up appointment times but doesnt turn up.

was a rush arvo... busy again and then i went to dinner with some close friends from church. was meant to be a small, low key do but in the end there were a few people. had a great night and was great for laughs. will miss my church buddies!
