Soap dispensers at the ready....just in case there's a patient for the docTors.

New thread.

Not having enough food to feed your child and refusing help to get it - should be automatic referral. I do judge - their pride is leaving the child hungry.

To clarify: I don't judge not having enough money, I judge not accepting help.

I thought that your GP could provide you with a voucher or note so that the food bank would help you. It looked like Zara gave out a generic leaflet.

Thanks for the new thread fuzzy
I like the title.

Different food banks have different rules. Some need a referral and have a max number over a period (our local one is 3 in 6 months rolling). It could be Zara was showing the leaflet and about to do the referral when she got snapped at. Or it could be the writers didn't want to show boring paperwork!

Just wanted to say hi. I have been lurking on the Doctors threads for a while. Ive watched every episode since my maternity leave in 2007!!!! .

Wow Chicksy, that is an impressive achievement! Do you usually manage to watch live?

Blimey chicksy, that's impressive watching. Well done for delurking at last and welcome to the real fun!

Thanks Bingle I didn't realise about different approaches to food bank protocol. It jarred with me when Zara seemed to be prevaricating.

Fuzzy the apostrophe is now in the title I am pleased that it was edited in, pedantic person that I am.

Woohoo welcome chicksy now the fun starts
I’ve been AWOL the last couple of day..It was my birthday on Tuesday so we celebrated by going absolutely nowhere!
Wasn’t such a bad day though to be fair.
I got a fitness watch thingy off my husband which will be a lot of use during the lockdown

Thanks TDogs. I am a pedant myself, but unfortunately also a terrible typist. and won't be paying £5 a month for an edit facility

Happy Birthday for Tuesday Funster. Glad you had a decent day.

Happy birthday for Tuesday , Funster- is Bear still in your window?

The dispensers are still not working then. Is this really the best storyline they could come up with.? And why do they work for Al?

Al has the magic touch

This couple are going to be very annoying and entitled, I fear.

The Mill survived for years without a midwife. I didn't see a midwife at my gps surgery after I had my first- and that was 2002.

"Nothing that interferes with the natural process"
Doesn't apply to your eyebrows, does it?

Crash c-section for her then.

Is Val now Ruhma's bessie mate, like Gobby suddenly became Jimmi's?

It's a skin colour issue. This is very common issue - these devices were designed to recognise white skin but not dark. The other dark skinned staff were having problems too.

OOOPS!

Oh dear. Emma.

Jessica I'm glad you said that. I wondered but didn't like to say.

Jessica I wondered that. That will annoy Eeesh no end.
