Him-sheet

This gem is on my SystmOnline Patient Record:

"her"? Who the fuck is "her"?

I'm not confident that a "Post-CCT Foot and Ankle Fellow" is the right person for the job, especially as it's as clear as day that ALJABI, Yasser (Mr) did not read/understand either the referral letter or my medical records - if he had done so, he would have noticed the following:

That's the NHS-standard-format label which is stuck onto hundreds of my NHS forms... LRI staff said that the "M" indicates "Male"

 

Those two info-bits are fairly obvious

 

Those three info-bits are for those skilled in the ancient art of reading sentences

 

If that one's not sufficiently gender-diagnostic, I don't know what is!

If ALJABI, Yasser (Mr) can't tell a man from a woman, it's a fair bet that he can't tell an arse from an elbow, let alone a shoulder from an ankle.

I would tell him where he can stick his response, but I'm not sure that he'd be able to work it out.
