Holidays

I love holidays. I don't love coming back from holiday.

Just about all GPs have a collection of patients who will only see one particular GP. They'd rather wait until you come back from holiday to be seen rather than see one of your partners. You'd think that we should be flattered by this. The problem is that they tend to be heartsinks.

When I return from holiday, I can write down a list of no more than 20-25 patients. I can guarantee that half of the patients I see on my first day back will come from this small group.

I think I'll go on holiday again.

Hello Dr Phibes,

As the host of the next Paediatric Grand Rounds I invite you to send in your submissions for the next issue. I'm looking for posts on anything that concerns paediatric health. At the risk of sounding cliched, it takes a village, so I welcome contributions from family doctors, paediatricians, nurses, counsellors, scientists, teachers, parents, etc, etc.

Past issues of PGR are archived http://pgrarchive.blogspot.com/

This is probably more information than you need but the quickest way to establish bona fides is to say that my blog is
http://breathspakids.blogspot.com/

And my reasons for running this project are in this post:
http://breathspakids.blogspot.com/2006/04/why-breath-spa-for-kids.html

I've had a look at your blog and was particularly taken with your Nutramigen post and will include that in PGR unless you object or have a different post that you would prefer to submit.

I'm in the UK, so please send your contributions/response by Saturday, July 1, 15:00 London time to give me time to get the Paediatric Grand Rounds ready for Sunday, July 2.

Regards - Shinga
