Practice nurse

Hi All

Went to the doctors this morning for a routine breathing test, this was carried out by the practice nurse and something I've done many times before.

She was asking me questions like she was reading from a pre prepared Q & A form...how far can I walk without feeling discomfort, can I walk 100 meters without discomfort etc. How often do I use my inhalers, how often do I use my nebulizer and do I get help with washing and dressing. None of this has ever happened before

I wonder if even the Practice Nurse has been knobbled or am I being paranoid?

Regards
Ken

with regards the stairs and dressing they are standard questions for asthma incont dementia and a couple of other problems

Although I don't have asthma the questions do make sense.

Atos dont write computer programs as such and in fact most of the software they use started off as "Open source" software and they tweak it
