Title: Holby City anyone?
Post by: Marley's Ghost (Imbiber of Spirits) on July 17, 2014, 09:50:27 AM
Just been down to the quackters.

I now feel as though I'm in Holby City!

He's ordered: ECG, Us&Es, FBCs, HDL & Liver Function!

Should I be worried? Am I dying? 

 eeek: eeek: noooo:

I haven't got a clue what "Us&Es" is

One of the vile ones you sometimes get given is the Pituitary function test.  You have to collect 24 hours worth of wee in a container.   noooo:
