Pleased to hear it Dr Livingstone, and while we are having this rare moment of clarity and harmony in your blog may I also add that we do this practically every day.

Well actually this is one aspect of cooperation. Another maybe the Pharmacist telling the GP what is out of stock. Hence, ensuring a patient never goes without their medicines.

Anyhow, we all work towards perfectionemoticon
