Brain Teasers

LOL

Excuse / reason accepted

Thank you kindly dear sir, I am so tired of thinking when I get home at night....


People complain of stress in the UK, the only profession that is not allowed any stress leave (ha ha ha) is mine, yet we are not allowed to make any mistakes.
People still think that all we do is stick labels on boxes, yet we are responsible for correct dosages, correct medication for the disease, drug-drug interactions, interventions ,etc
Yet, if I dare to give dispersable aspirin instead of enteric coated, it is deemed a criminal offence, so one has to be so very vigilant and careful....

I miss using my brain.

:help:


I know some important people on the site may think I have no brain.....

:yikes:
