God I love the NHS

Astrid was discharged after her adenotonsillectomy this morning (she was monitored all night, and she and I were both given all the food we wanted because I'm still breastfeeding her) and while she was at home sleeping it off her sister developed tooth or jaw pain and screamed blue murder, so we got her an appointment with the children's dental clinic and she was seen in under an hour and the pain is just molars coming up but there was also a non-urgent filling repair so they did that while they were there. And because she hates the flavour of Bonjela, the dentist gave her a dosing syringe with the banana-flavoured topical anaesthetic they use in the clinic.

Then when we discovered that Calprofen and Nurofen for Children have different doses listed we called the paediatric ward and asked for clarification and were given it.

I love love love the NHS and their crispy clean bedsheets.
