Just to clarify, the remedial treatment for the body-VMS that I had in mind
here consisted of some industrial strength delousing, plus rock-salt and
cigarette-butts for the leaches, combined with 6-pints and a prawn-vindaloo
for the Free-Timers.What I didn't expect was for that to appear on the
patients chart as a brain-amputation followed by a complete-cardiac-bypass!

"simply cannot get any worse" eh? Yeah right :-(

One can always seek solace in the hope that the usual suspects have got it
wrong (yet again :-) but if you're of a religious disposition, given to
prayer and the belief in miracles, then I would ask you to join me with
hands-clasped and heads-bowed.

PPS. Brian, you can wave a dead chicken over your head or whatever it is you
do :-)
