Re: A thread about constipation
Thank you, and no I don't want to either 
Think the one in 2005 was more regulated ie with cost? I've been out of the NHS for years now and was never up in the finances obviously, just care.
But do know that even now some Doctors are turning away certain patients ie could be too expensive and won't give out certain drugs as too expensive.
Now admittedly that was a couple of years ago, I just could never pin down was it the Doctors or the administration they were under ie how much funding they got. To get into the 'post code' lottery.
Never found that out, know you would know
And as this isn't UK versus US hopefully it won't get into that debate..sorry if it does,
just wanted to understand the funding at a grass roots level and why the 'post code' lottery.

And to clarify my more than usual incohesive ramble, when I was in the UK 2 years ago it was on the news re a new tablet that some people could get and others couldn't, and everyone was blaming everyone else. Can't remember the outcome or what is was for (MS or something like that
)But doesn't matter

Re: A thread about constipation
I only come up with factual hopefully useful stuff on that topic these days.And I personally wouldn't switch from a med that was working to a new one without some compelling reason (better safety, works better, or something).

Pretty obvious he would be getting a backhander. Ridiculous.

Re: A thread about constipation
I wouldn't try plastic. You might end up with a nice ER doc removing the evidence.
...........which reminds me (and do not read any further if you don't want to be grossed out) There was one particular instance when an older female patient complained of an object in her vagina she couldn't remove. It was the screw cap off a coke bottle. She had a prolapsed bladder and she thought she could push it back with the bottle, I guess the top was loose or she was twisting it but when she removed the bottle the bottle top was missing
It was easily removed.........she then asked for it back
