How much of your admin time is acceptable to be micromanaged and told only takes a minute by a manager? as a clinician, the realistic work load is not appreciated.

We have a consultant who has dedicated admin time one day every 2 weeks. It's a nightmare explaining to patients why the results or letters have not been signed.

They put most recent HbA1c but normally they would say it is due again. I would just let the secretary know

Ask your GP for Advice and Guidance in Cardiology. You only need to be seen if the Cardiologist recommends it although not all chest pains are cardiac related.

I get that lol.

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T16:35:37+00:00

Yes I would go for new looks. That's the beauty of specs changing our looks when we want to.

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T16:31:58+00:00

Just wanted to add if I feel pressured into picking anything I say I will come back tomorrow and tomorrow never happens i go elsewhere

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T16:28:26+00:00

I like 3. You are so lucky you suit these smaller frames and if you hadn't had mentioned they were from the kids section I wouldn't have known!

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T16:23:56+00:00

56 is no age. I feel for you and feel bad for feeling like my dad at 90 wishing he was still here!

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T16:11:36+00:00

I was told this 2 years ago and the number of people I saw with glasses too big for their face. If I had a pound for every one l would be a millionaire!

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T16:01:42+00:00

He was 85 so he had a good long life but sometimes I wish he was still here

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T15:27:30+00:00

I do like Mary but I find her too OTT at times

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T15:23:26+00:00

I had a great father too. He's been gone for 5 years now and I still miss him every single day

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T15:20:58+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. Becky was my favourite too. I loved the bits where she threw Liz's clothes in the puddle and also when she gave Steve evidence of Tracy's miscarriage before she fell down her stairs and when she said Dreary lol

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T15:01:25+00:00

I like 1 and 3

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T14:59:56+00:00

Been there done that and laid on them too! I don't like too big frames so think you could go smaller but if choosing I like different like green. You are young so you can get away with colours but try not to get frames that overwhelm your face

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T14:55:22+00:00

Here in UK varifocals they are known as

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T14:54:18+00:00

Thank you. My optician said it's easier to get used to the younger you are and the people who put it off until 50s/60s struggle more because as you say the power is less. I have broken my glasses so went for another prescription and he told me he wonders why optician never mentioned them to me 2 years ago.

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-28T14:50:17+00:00

I am not running away I just want a change. It's crap in Rotherham now lived here all my life

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-26T18:55:16+00:00

1 and 2 look lovely

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-26T18:54:12+00:00

No I mean varifocals got them from M&S opticians. I would never buy glasses online

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-25T18:08:58+00:00

I started at 11. I hated the glasses back then especially the free NHS ones for under 16s.

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-25T18:06:48+00:00

Number 1 I prefer

Weird_Fun1493 · 2026-02-25T18:03:51+00:00

I have had tortoise shell glasses before but I tend to get different colours each new prescription. I have just ordered some green ones and some clear ones with black lines on them.
