I laughed this week when I heard about a GP in Mayo who had a farmer patient in to get his COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr Keith Swanick in Belmullet, Co Mayo, tweeted that he asked a patient for his PPS number.
“After a few attempts, the smoke started emanating from the desktop [...] he said ‘Sorry Doc that was the herd number I gave you.’” A good COVID-19 tale.
