2nd July Doctoring the facts


In breaking news Grace Under Pressure can reveal that the UK will not have to wait for 15 years in order to see staff numbers up to reasonable levels after Rishi Sunak and his government played their joker card in order to fast forward his  bedside assistance program. 

Given that it will take at least five possibly four years to train a doctor, Rishi Sunak plans to bring back to the NHS doctors who are currently working in the private sector.

An almost priapic Health Secretary Steve  Barclay spoke almost truthfully to Grace Under Pressure's very own uhealthy reporter when he  revealed,"It just made sense really to bring back doctors with years and years of experience into the NHS to help this current crisis which seems to have started and remained for the last 13 years." 

"Amongst those coming to the aid of our over run emergency departments and mile long waiting lists will be Dr Who, Dr Dre, Dr Dolittle, Dr Findlay,  Dr Gregory House, Dr Frasier Crane, and the fabulous Dr Fox."

"When asked why he didn't also add Doc Martin to the list now that his Cornwall job had ended, Health secretary Steve Barclay laughed out loud at the sugeston. "Doc Martin," he spluttered, "everyone knows that's a type of shoe and not a proper doctor! Besides which those shoes are reknowned for their compassionate and forgiving sole and everyone knows the Tory party doesn't have one of those."

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
