PRESS RELEASE FROM LOCAL HEALTH CENTRE

It has come to our attention that our new locum doctor from the middle-east, Sheikh Da Bottle Ali, suffers from a previously undiagnosed case of dyslexia, resulting in some errors in recent referrals and prescriptions.

Could patients please note that artichoke is not a medical term for blocked arteries. Anyone prescribed with Miracle Grow for their artichokes should report immediately to their cardiologist for further tests.

Dr. Sheikh Da Bottle Ali has a particular problem with his ‘oids’, first discovered when irate local resident Big Maggie Ann MacPhee turned up for an appointment at the IT & PC Hardware Repair Department of the local hospital. It was soon discovered that Ms MacPhee had a thyroid complaint, and not an android condition.

However, the chef aboard the island ferry was relieved to resume his daily order of The Sun, The Daily Record and The News of World on Sundays. The reason he vomited in the broth was due to typhoid, not a tabloid.

Finally, a third ‘oid’ mistake was spotted when 'ananbolic steroids' were wrongly prescribed for 'Anna Pollock’s schizoid' condition. Anna should now be considered armed and very dangerous. Any sightings of Anna should be reported to either PC Hugh Dunnett or Sponge Bath Square Bob, who now assists part-time at the local sanitarium.

Could all recent patients who feel they have been misdiagnosed, or if you suspect a wrongly prescribed medication, please call the health centre for advice or leave a comment in the appropriate box below.
