Marilyn was the first patient scheduled for this morning so I dropped her off early and am now waiting to hear when I can go in. She was pleased when she discovered her doctor, Dr McIntyre, was a Scotsman, educated at Glasgow University. His accent was familiar and she was very happy to put her trust in him.
It reminds me of the old Tony Hancock sketch, The Blood Donor. Tony was also reassured when he discovered his doctor's name was McTaggart. "0h, he's a Scot! That's alright then. The Scots are great doctors, like engineers. It's the porridge, you know."
It's 56 years since Tony wrote that sketch but it's as true now as it was then. (That is, not very.)
