An update to “I’ll have to kill you…”

I’ve often wondered at the language used in clinic letters. Of course it’s a legacy of not writing to the patient but writing to other doctors.

I’m compiling a list of the most common lines:

The delightful Mrs E …= really annoying

Mrs E complains of pain … = moaning minny

Mrs E has inadequate bladder emptying = she’s soo useless she cannot even empty her bladder

I remember in labour being told : failure to progress … = useless lady can’t get that baby out

I know in the olden days there were acronyms. B4B. Bright for Biggleswade.

Anyhow you get my drift. After seeing Jerome unexpectedly last week. When he’d come to the dusty office of ships. He’d announced he’d rubbed the wooden boat!

Mr America must still be in recovery after that episode.

To my infinite gratitude,mirth, in fact tears of laughter herewith an extract from Jerome’s latest clinic letter:

Absolutely genius and refreshingly funny

The antithesis of clinic letters everywhere else! Fabulous Jerome.
