    Rant: I take issue with The Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme incentivising young single men to further their education so they may in the future contribute towards society.
    I know of this one fellow who is employed by my very own employer, he holds down a part-time job while also looking to develop himself through the college system.
    Now that's not the issue, the issue is that he's on an unrealistic salary scale not in keeping with his job description and responsibilities and to top it off he also receives holiday pay.
    I'm in such a quandary that I think I might be compelled to make my feelings known via one of this nation's top talk shows

    Tangle theory. Scientists look into it when they're not creating cures for diseases.

    This has happened to me twice, I took the sick child to the doctor(and I don't run in at every sniffle as I cant afford it) and the doctor has a brief look at the child and says well I will give you an antibiotic and sure you decide if they need it. I then said well I came in as temperature was very high and they are very out of sorts etc and the reply I got was its hard to tell if the antibiotic will help it maybe viral. Now I did nt spend 7 years in medical school so I find it hard to tell if its a virus or bacterial infection hence I went to doctor....
    So I spent 50 euro and came away with a dilemma.

    Next time that happens tell him you'll also decide if he needs 50 euro or not.

    Yeah reason for that, is the child is probably only viral at the moment, if the child form gets worst it goes bacterial, then you give them the antibiotic.

    Would you prefer he gave you no prescription and two days alter u go back and give him more money just to get the same prescription?

    Never keep people happy in this country

    Also you need to have the temp for at least three days for the doc to consider it bacterial!!!

    Things like that contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance - a lot of people will get the prescription anyway and rather than waiting to see will start taking it straight away. Ideally yes, you would go back to the doctor if a suspected viral infection is not clearing up, but that's the problem with the GP system in Ireland!

    Don't get this. Viruses and bacteria are different. Are you saying a virus can go bacterial?

    Yes, ie a throat infection can be viral, but can turn bacterial

    People passively aggressively stalking your posts, liking a post anytime someone disagrees with you and making snide comments that don't have the stones to directly say who they're trying to slag.

    If you ****ing don't like me either say it or ignore me

    This forum is a big enough place for many different experiences and opinions...

    You know if you knew me at all in real life I think you'd realize I'm not half the dickhead you have built me up to be in your mind.

    Because they charge per visit, they dont in the UK, so people would go back no problem.

    Primacare run a great service in Lucan, often gone back a few days later and there be no fee.
