I normally find reaching out from the gown and grabbing his and squeezing gets the message across. Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!

I find it highly unlikely he carried out a surgical procedure on you without your consent. A serious charge against him!
AKA you’re saying I am lying, perhaps for dramatic effect?
Not that I have to explain, but I went to the Dentist as one of my teeth was playing up giving me toothache. He examined me, told me he was taking an X-ray, then proceeded to what I thought was fill the tooth. I wasn’t told at any stage it was root canal work or indeed that he was filling it. Id not had that sort of procedure carried out before, so the whisps of smoke didn’t set off any alarms bells for me. It was only discovered that when I went to pay and it was on the invoice.
I quite like my dentist, been to him for years. If it needed done, fine. I don’t have a problem, but I certainly wasnt told, highly unlikely or not.

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

I’ve not accused anyone of lying,stop being dramatic.
1 You’ve had a medical procedure done on you without questioning why and what are the alternatives then what’s the long term prognosis and probable future treatment to the tooth is. Likely to be veneered crowned or extracted depending on the tooth.
2 Your dentist has carried out a surgical procedure on you without you say your consent? That’s assault and he has breached his codes of practice simples.This is a serious charge which the BDA could suspend or strike him off for.Now that’s dramatic.Hope the pain is better.

Hardly dramatic, just being straight to the point as there seemed to be some disbelief it happened as stated. It what it is. It was a couple of years ago and I was grateful the discomfort stopped, end of.
Nationwide and their fundamental confusion over precisely what mobile banking should be.
Why the do I have to use the bloody card reader to amend a standing order *to another account that's already verified as being mine!*. Just exactly what risk do they think they're mitigating here?
Because of course we all carry out card readers with us, and or cards. Absolutely nobody simply users their phone for contactless payments these days
Security theatre. I could cheerfully bludgeon the Crohn's* that signed this policy off with a damp copy of FCA DISP.
(* Bleeding ar5eholes)I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

+1 re Nationwide.
Started at a new school last week and, in the spirit of joining in, agreed to have a roll and bacon at Friday coffee. The teacher who organised wanted payment by bank transfer (£1.80) so that her own accounts are easy to manage.
No problem with that - she's organising it, so she calls the shots. I'll use my personal, sneaky Nationwide account (for once with £25 in it), rather than the joint account which SWMBO sees. But - no card reader, so can't set up the payment!!! I wouldn't enjoy the roll if I hadn't paid for it, so needed to use the main account.

The NHS and dentists in Glasgow
I also tried to get my Hep A and typhoid jabs for travel at the end of June……….told by the doctor “ sorry we don’t do them any more”
WTF is going on.
So I finally got through to a private company that Glasgow NHS has contracted to do some work for them. you have a 15 min consultation asking your history and all the jabs you have ever had (can you really remember what you had as a kid?) and then at the end, the NHS will give you a call back in the next 7 days to arrange an appointment……..what a great system, surely your GP is best placed to know what your medical history is.

On the school theme.... teaching unions.
Got an online questionnaire to complete to inform the union's response to the Scottish Government's pay offer. Granted, it's not much and I'd love to have more, but my response that we are relatively well paid, we typically get home before 5, have a half day on a Friday, got a good pension scheme, no one got furloughed or made redundant during Covid and we get 12 weeks' holiday a year fell on deaf ears.
I'll happilly take more money, but a bit of a reality check on what we get for what we do is in order. Sure, it's stressful - but my job before teaching was stressful too, and I only got 5 weeks' off.2014 - D4 2010 HSE Nara Bronze

Go and have a word with the school office staff, see how much of a pay rise they have had over the past 10 years or so and see what response you get!Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Not saying that we're all in the same boat - I'd be happy for the support staff to get a higher pay award than teachers. Just saying that, on balance, I feel pretty well remunerated for the work I do. But fully appreciate that I'm probably in the minority.2014 - D4 2010 HSE Nara Bronze
