hissingsid Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 That is bad people need looking after, my surgery does next day telephone consultations and if the Dr is concerned you get an appointment. I cannot see why dentists are not performing as usual there is not a lot more risk filling a tooth than pulling one especially if it is a difficult extraction and they are doing extractions. The thought of having toothache for three months is beyond desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Some of you more mature members will remember the a White Hoe the infectious diseases hospital or the fever hossy as it was known, scarlet fever, T B. etc. it would have been the perfect place to treat Covid 19 and Nobles could have carried on, what the fallout from over three months of clinics and proceedures being put on the back boiler will be god only knows especially as there were long waiting lists in the first place. It also has been found a lot of cross contamination was made across by bank nurses, especially in care homes, why can we not have enough nurses without resorting to bank nursing we used to.

They’re probably concerned for your welfare. You sound like you’re in a vulnerable group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has been sacrificed on the altar of this infection. I know a lot of people. It's the same story for cancer, cardiac, physio, orthopaedics, dentistry, you name it. Letters were sent out months ago cancelling appointments, and advising that anyone who has issues or concerns should contact their GP. GP's reaction on being told this: "Really?", and they have no clue, can give no information on when this state of affairs is going to change. It is ludicrous. How dare you complain - ‘Howie’ and ‘Ashy’ have everything under control...or so their sycophantic juvenile fan club at Jef the Fucking Mongoose would have us believe.

The clearance being due to yet another (there are many) huge expensive hangover from the IRIS Scheme. White Hoe referred to is the building across the railway lines, where the juvenile secure unit is now. (White Hoe was the originalcottage on the Castletown Road at the top of the lane.

Reminds me that I once got laughed at by a Manxie for sounding the H in the Hoe of "White Hoe". I'm not sure how authentic "White Oh" is in the Manx vernacular. I did say in response that I wasn't about to take lessons in pronunciation from someone who spoke "thirteen" so tortuously that there was neither "i" nor "r" in it. Had no idea what I was on about.

There is no other profession that can hold a population to ransom like dentists can,but just remember, compared to doctors,they just tore a page out of the book and learned it.

I’d explained it wasn’t urgent. Now waiting for a phone call sometime this morning as they couldn’t give a specific time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was spelt White Hoe in the 1800s. Maybe a Manx etymologist could say, but I gave up on them, when an expert in Manx was insisting on Manx Radio that Andreas was pronounced 'Andrus', because his old auntie used to say it that way and she lived there all her life. He had little social appreciation that people from a place - any place - when speaking to someone else from around the same place, will use a contraction, nickname, or whatever. eg 'Pully' for Pulrose. (A Manx Radio newsreader for example, doesn't say 'Pully'.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
