The Lokum's Komments this time are short and to the point.
I cannot see the point in lecturing an unwilling audience - even MY
ego doesn't need that!
I have been trying to explore the idea that the demands made on community
Pharmacy, by both the public AND our professional bodies, might destroy
the profession.
Unfortunately, nobody seems to agree or disagree!
All I hear is a deafening silence.
Surely there must be someone out there who disagrees with my words,
or my attitude?
I am hoping that Neil J Computachem Johno will set up an anonymous forum,
so that you can send me hate mail - I love hate mail - it encourages
me that there might be thinking chemmies out there!
If he will not do this, you might like to email me direct ….. I have
had two bits of abusive mail already … maybe some of your comments might
get fed back anonymously through Computachem.
I am going to a Domiciliary Medication Management Review seminar this
weekend. Does anyone want to hear about it?
What do you guys think about this Privacy Regulation as it will apply
to Pharmacy?
Anybody want to hear my "in your face" views?
Talk to us people.
If nobody speaks up, the Juggernaut will roll on, and will eventually
roll over us!
And
just to show I have not yet lost my sense of humour, I overheard this
on a recent lokum trip......
A
blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Sydney
to Melbourne.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde, tired after standing in a long queue after the Ansett collapse,just
wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the
window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of
fun.
He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you
pay me five dollars, and vice versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer,
you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end
to this torment, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth
to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00
bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
"Okay," says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four
legs?"
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all
his references ... no answer. He taps into the cell phone with his modem
and searches the Internet ... no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails
to all his friends and co-workers, but to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and asks,
"Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer
$5, and goes back to sleep.
