Hmmm... reminds me of the call I had last weekend. I was diverted from a "Nan-down" call at 1.30 in the morning to a child described as "floppy and lethargic with high temperature and ineffective breathing". "Oh Poo!", I thought as I turned the truck around and headed back the way I had come, Only to be met at the doorstep by the child's mother brandishing a bottle of CALPOL and a very happy 3 year old child. The actual reason for the call ? .... was the Calpol out of date as "mummy's little darling" had a bit of a headache. Answer... NO!. The date you are looking at is the prescription date which was two days ago! Grrrrrr!
