I had to call the doctor out to one of my ladies yesterday and happened to return to the lady's house as he arrived. Along with her daughter I relayed all the symptoms and stayed until he'd left so that I could pass any important information back to the office.
Today I find another woman halloucinating when I arrive, so I phoned for a doctor again.
I don't know if you are aware that housecalls from doctors can take up to 6 hours for them to arrive so unfortunately I had to leave this lady. I did however make an imprompu return at lunch time just to check she was ok; especially as no-one was due to go back until 7pm this evening.
As luck would have it the doctor was already there on my arrival and happened to be same person from the day before.
'Hello again' he says 'What are you doing here?'
'I am this lady's care worker, I have just popped back to make sure she was ok'
'Oh you're a care worker' came the astonished reply 'you seemed so concerned yesterday, I thought you must have been the lady's son.'
What a nice thing to say
