A lot to cover in a weekend Adi, are you going to open up a clinic afterwards

[Pete McK]

Sounds like you are going to have a great weekend Adi, how much is it costing you?

[adi]

LOL I have had to build up to this point, normally it is only open to Paramedics, Nurses and Doctors who have professional medical qualification so I am lucky to get on it.

I have been running a back street clinic for some years now lol







For family and friends!

Someone has dropped out so I have paid enough to cover the admin cost and certification cost 

[Callum]

Well done Adi, you deserve it

It would be really interesting to hear how you get on this weekend, I am sure this type of medicine will be of great interest to many of the forum members. Have a good one

I hope to get some photos if it is aloud and I get time but I will write about it on my return.

Did you get your certificate Adi? If you have I've got this little problem I'd like you to take a look at - not really sure where I picked it up from but 'Dettol' didn't clear it up.
