I must admit - the longer I worked with him the better I got at translating it.
He was a fearsome man, but an excellent consultant.

I heard the NHS spends millions on translators,I didn't realise it was for the Dr notes.
A Dr's relationship with his patients depends fundamentally on confidentiality.
Will a lack of said confidentiality not lead to unnecessary deaths?
Who's going to stop these corps passing this info onto the likes of insurance companies?
This happened in America and because either the persons or their med records showed for example a certain strain of cancer etc ran in the family,these folk were refused medical insurance.
Under no circumstance should anyone outside of the NHS be using my health information.
In today's world the only safe data is data they don't have. The rest is for sale.
Perhaps I should learn to be more relaxed,Maybe some of Eric's afghan black might do the trick
