My first patient of the day whilst working in a SouthYorkshire Village, greeted me with:

 “Hey up our kid, I’m right flummoxed with these ‘ere contact lenses.”

 “What’s the problem?” I asked.

“Last night in t’ pub playing dom’s and darts, no problem.   This morning I can’t see a bloomin’ thing.  Aye! Right  flummoxed I am.”

On checking his record card I enquired as to whether he may have inserted the lenses in the wrong eyes.

“ I ‘an’t thought o’ that” came his reply

 “Why dont you use the consulting room and switch them around” I suggested.

Off he went and  returned a few minutes later with a broad smile on his face.  Yer bloody good ‘ere, arn’t yer?”

It’s going to be one of those days.
