TITCH lying doctors who order treatment for a patient just to make further treatment easier for doctors to administer. Not caring that it is only for the convenience of doctors, not for the patient.

.......aaAND ALSO ......

..... ICTH my lack of charity which means I have failed to forgive my friend for dissing my 40th birthday.

My failure resulted in said friend standing this evening giving me a long, long string of excuses for missing another v. important event, The Big Guy's wedding, on Saturday. I thought he would stop when I said: "Oh well, it's a shame...." but he went on.

And on, and on and on.

So for one thing, he really didn't need to give *me * any excuses for not being there. For another thing, I wasn't going to say: well, it doesn't matter, it's okay, because it did fuckin matter. This is The Big Guy. You missed his wedding. Not okay. I didn't want to hear the excuses. I was angry with him.

Because you see, he dissed my 40th, which took place fewer than five miles from his house. He got in from work and was, I quote, 'tired'. This left me sitting under a helium balloon I bought myself, in a room I'd booked because people had said they would come, with more sausage rolls than you can possibly imagine. I felt hurt and embarassed.

So how, if he couldn't manage to show up for an hour to eat one of my sausage rolls, can he be expected to abandon the family (as if they have no-one else) and take a flight to be there for The Big Guy?

Must be more charitable. Must forgive. I fed the sausage rolls to some students. He wasn't the only one who didn't turn up. We had a blast at The Big Guy's wedding.

I should lighten up and he should get a life.

Sorry, Sioni. I didn't mean to clutter up TICTH. I guess a separate thread might be fun, or soul-destroying, depending on how invested one is in politics and the knuckle-walkers who represent us.

This is probably really selfish, but I am tired and fed up so I am going to moan anyway. I got a grand total of two hours sleep the other night and it's not making the crisis easier to deal with. So here's my petty vent:

My flatmate's mum just died. Mostly people have been really helpful and there's a steady stream of consolers around the place. It's awesome they're there. Really. I mean it. She's not safe to be left alone and I have to go to work in the day. But… why does every single bloody comforter who comes round here bring sweets with them? The place is rapidly disappearing under the European sugar mountain. And it's all they ever turn up with.

I know they mean really well, but would it be so much to ask for someone think of doing the thing that's actually *useful*?

People, I know you have the best intentions, but here's the thing: she's miserable and in shock and she doesn't want to eat. Unless someone sits her down with a plate of something tasty, nutritious and easily swallowed (i.e. the stuff that I keep magically managing to produce out of the motley collection of ingredients still left in our kitchen until I get the time to go that supermarket place I have vague memories of and buy some more) she doesn't eat anything. She needs rice and vegetables so she doesn't get rickets, not bloody finest Belgian chocolate-coated fairies' wings. I know it's really nice of you, but if this carries on all she's going to eat all day is three chocolate biscuits and then I'm going to end up taking her to hospital with malnutrition on top of everything else she's dealing with.

In the name of pity, could someone please stop bringing bloody confectionery and just turn up round our place with some actual FOOD?

Also it's really nice of you to make cups of tea for everyone, but would it be so much to ask one of you to think of washing up the three million cups it creates? The kitchen looks like a bloody warzone when you leave. (I know, I'm there to do it, and I'm being selfish bla bla but when the bereaved only gets two hours sleep I only get two hours sleep as well and having to do something about the state of the kitchen last night was one thing too much. And I suspect that when I get in tonight it will all be labour lost and there will once again be a myriad of teacups littering all our kitchen counters.)

Fuck off NHS, really just fuck right off.

In what stupid fucking arshole shitty world is it in any way right that raising a concern about care in a hospital should make the situation motherfucking worse. And you, Patient Advice and Liason Service - what sodding good are you to us if instead of advising me to hold the complaint until he is released (as appearently this always sodding bloody fucking happens) you jsut blithely pass it on to the corporate wankers to deal with.

Care?

May you all see your loved one treated abominably and feel the special sense of powerlessness in the face of intitutional incompetence and heartlessness and individuals who care not a jot for those entrusted to them.

Gits.

I feel for you. Yes, PALS are useless wankers (at best) and seem entirely made up of individuals with no imagination, empathy or common sense.

Get ready, though: in the UK, unless the patient has had surgery or an invasive treatment that has gone awry there is no legal redress unless you can prove that lousy treatment has directly caused death. [Mad] [Mad] [Mad]

And in that vein, may I also CTH the blithering idiot reporter who started a supposedly serious report on childless-by-choice people by showing a woman lounging in a spa while a white-clad minion massaged her (self-absorbed child-free) tootsies. Because y'know the only reason people choose not to have kids is so they have the time and money to force others to kneel before them and pare their calluses.

TICTH railway intransigence.

I have to change at one station. Sometimes I'm late getting there, but the connection usually waits for the late-running train, so no problem.

Until last week when for some reason they started letting the late-running one come in at the far end of the platform while the connection waited at the other end. This now means a frantic sprint out of one train down to the other end of the platform in the remaining seconds to try to board the connection, if it isn't already pulling out.

I complained to the train company about this and was told that it has to leave on time - fair enough, but what it actually does is sit in a bloody siding for several minutes until the late-running train has got its act together and sauntered off. So both are still late. Which they would have been anyway.

? I don't think I made it up, but it's when you tell a mild joke in public and someone loudly picks it apart in a ridiculously petty way. Not an offensive or mean joke, understand, just a mild one. It's a way of letting someone know they shouldn't be sitting at the same lunch table as the Cool Kids.

I guess it stung extra hard because I encountered this directly after having a fantastic conversation with two of the genuinely coolest women I have ever met, and I didn't like someone harshing my mellow with their faux cool.

TICTH the doctor I met yesterday morning. It took me weeks to gather the courage to go and say that my former Vicar behaved appallingly towards me for six months and drove me to a nervous breakdown, and very close to s ... erm, despair. Closer than anyone should ever go, and I am still there.

She said that is nothing to do with her, and to grow a thicker skin and not be so sensitive. I said I am not sensitive, I am chronically abused and therefore vulnerable to abuse. I think she is unfamiliar with the concept.

Pretty much the same as the Church, to be honest. If I have a problem being driven half mad, then it is my problem for being half mad. I don't want anyone to lose their job, or anything drastic like that. I only want to be seen as hurt, rather than as a threat.

Anyone I have told, who does not give a damn, I recommend to turn up their central heating and wear an extra jumper; best get used to it nice and early.

Change your doctor, and report her to the practice manager while your at it!! [Mad]

TICTH vitamin counterfeiters. Which is apparently a thing. Which is why I've been breaking out in hives shortly after I took my vitamins. Which is why I am currently not feeling well because these vitamins were compensating for the fact my body's not absorbing nutrients very well and now I'm fucked (and not in the fun, spanky way) because before I started taking them I was running on a very small number of spoons.

I'm on a roll. TITICH people who think their time is way way more valuable than yours. So when you turn up for a pre-arranged meeting they say they now can't do it properly because something else has come up for them. Fair enough. But shit, you could have called or texted before I wasted my time traipsing down to meet you and then hanging on while you 'just finish something really urgent'.

TICTH fear. My fear. Tomorrow I am going to have a general anaesthetic. I have two before and each time I feel panicked just before it is to be administered. It has been the most fearful and most powerless of experiences I've had. I hate that feeling. [Ultra confused]

TICTH small-minded petty people who have nothing better to do than speculate on my private life. If you want to know what's going on with me come ask me. I live a fairly public life and am not hiding any deep dark dirty little secrets...

Oh screw it, as the song says, "Everybody dies famous in a small town."

TICTH: The job application website for the Corporation of the City of London. For an organisation which is rolling in money and (if you believe paranoid left-wingers) has its tentacles in every nook and cranny of central government, it has a really crappy jobs website which seems to crash constantly. Just managing to find the job advert and fill in the application form is a massive achievement.

I am sorry to hear that. Did you try telling the anaesthetist, to get some help with this?

If it were my daughter this had happened to, I would.

Because it is me, I am too afraid. It has been open season on me for so long I have no idea where safety is to be found any more.
