Chaos at dispensary
Langport's GP surgery is among dozens of NHS outlets around the UK this weekend struggling to rid itself of a 'malware' virus which has infiltrated its dispensary computers. It's reported the system has been sending false E-mails and text messages to dozens of patients.
"We knew something was wrong when 5 residents at Portcullis House old people's home at Eastover turned up for breast reduction therapy" said Doctor Balai, as he explained to a Wearne woman that - no - she didn't have crabs.
25 Garden City residents were sent tubes of Daktacourt, one of the leading haemorrhoid creams, while a woman at Moor Park Road was booked in for 'tattoo removal' therapy.
Huish Episcopi residents have also been hit. No methadone's been delivered to Wagg Drove since Thursday morning and the vicar only got a prescription for 8 cases of gin last night instead of the usual 13.
Up at Langport Scout hut, instead of an NHS DVD on family planning, the children sat down for an hour and a half and watched Carry On Matron.
- and the entire town council were wrongly sent the viagra prescription which was meant for the staff party at Tesco this weekend.
"I didn't mind" said the town clerk, "my members were delighted"
Doctor Balai told Carry On Langport that he hoped to put right all the mistakes but added that the Moor Park Road tattoo removal issue wasn't actually an error.
"The woman in question had asked for Langport clock on her left buttock but it ended up looking more like a swastika" he explained.
Reports of other blunders are still coming in.
There are no further details.
