Leading the way with Movicol(R). Sponsored by Movicol(R)
Today we went to Goole to spend the day with the GP. There's not much I can say about Goole. I almost want the 'Welcome to Goole' signs to to have the additional subtitle 'I'm feeling lucky!'. But rather disappointingly they do not. It's just Goole. And people there have poor sexual health (so maybe they are feeling lucky after all).
Anyway, the reps were in today and this is always a good thing because it means FREE STUFF. The hierarchy of general practice is structured such that the doctors go in first pretending to be interested in what the reps are selling, whilst eating as many sandwiches as they think they can get away with. When they are done, the rest of the staff descend like locusts and carry off anything that remains. Between these two distinct feeding frenzies, the medical students who have, up to this moment, been gazing hungrily at the assortment of free food available are usually invited to help themselves. Today the Movicol lady was in selling one of the best known laxatives on the market. We ate their sandwiches, drank their fruit juice and filled our bags with Movicol pens, Movicol notepads and Movicol mouse mats. And since our prescribing power doesn't come into effect for another 2 and a bit years I feel I owe Movicol something. So I am dedicating this post to Movicol(R).
Feeling a bit bunged up?
Not where you want to be on the Bristol Stool Chart?
Ask your doctor for Movicol(R).
Movicol(R). Number one for number twos.
I also got some free contraceptive advice and a nice booklet on living with the menopause.

Are you sure it was wise to indulge in food and drink laid on by "the best known laxative brand"!?! :)
Number one for number two's. I get it. He he he he he. You're funny.
I'm detecting slightly sarcasm. Personally I can't understand why that isn't their tag line.
ohh honey can I have a free pen sounds fun, My Mum enjoyed your post. Love you xxxxxxx Lara
I used to have to give Movicol to old people. Goes down a treat with blackcurrent squash. (Just pray you're not on shift the following morning when an immobile patient reaps the Movicol-benefits whilst still in bed.
I'd LOVE a movical pen!! That's hilarious!
Ah the hours I spent trying to get that unfortunate substance down my residents throats.. then the hours spent clearing up the after effects.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why?
It does seem to have an extracorporeal longing.
Technically, it's a Spasmonal Forte pen, but if you'd like, I can save you one.
I'd love that! Thanks!
