In the Navy



Being paid to sit on a cruise ship for 4 months in the Caribbean with only a few sprained ankles to strap (well and the heart attacks), doesn't sound too bad.

From Ship's doctors - One of the more tricky situations...

"Back to Basics

'I once dealt with a passenger who was suffering from severe abdominal pain. He knew he had a hereditary illness but couldn’t remember what it was! I had to revisit my basic skills and clinical knowledge in order to conduct a diagnosis. A urine test was conducted and it was clear as the urine turned brown that this was a case of Porphyria.'
Doctor Sally Bell"

Anti-climax or what?
