That bloody vet is 60 if he's a day Not the cold hands as well? TBH I stupidly made a remark to an elderly locum about having to get up to pee several times a night. Without hesitation he launched into one about the need for regular prostate checks for men of a "certain age" and had his latex glove on before I could say NO!In point of fact he declared, in what I thought was a disappointed tone, that my prostate felt fine ..... I then got the chance to refer him to my notes which revealed the reason for the night time excursions .... diuretics ~ prescribed to me as to most patients with heart failure.

They all seem rather too eager to get the rubber glove on don’t they…
