All the books you buy are stored by Amazon as well as being on your Kindle, so you can't lose them even if your Kindle reader is destroyed. For books, just read 'medical records' and the job's done.<br /><br />I'm sure there are other commercial products entirely suited to what must surely be a simple requirement.<br /><br />Simple? Nobody in the public sector wants simple though. Careers aren't built on simple.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5001867295510218749.post-23316122165403846102011-06-19T14:22:47.140+01:002011-06-19T14:22:47.140+01:00I've just undergone major heart surgery.

After starting on the NHS and experienced the new waiting system and I quote an NHS adminstrator here, "The wait to see the cardiologist is currently 2 weeks, we will call you in about 8 weeks time to put you on the list" and having my records lost, I went private, at my own expense ( No insurance). The Experience could not have been more different. All waiting melted away, I was dealt with efficiently and effectively and am now 4 weeks into recovery for an operation that I wouldn't otherwise be having until October at the earliest. Every time I touched NHS admin, disaster. Every time I eventually touched NHS staff at the sharp end, superb. We may assume the system is very broken methinks.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126437517580180364noreply@blogger.com
