The sterilisation process was one of the proverbial straws- have you checked the documentation they require? We are telling all the bureaucratic leeches & drones to bugger off and we will get on with providing quality medical care without them - as we managed to do before Wal On 29/08/2006, at 6:21 PM, Thinus van Rensburg wrote: > We are in the process of preparing for accreditation - I get my > sterile equipment sterilised at the Skin Clinic where I work in the > morning (for the next few weeks then only at our own place).
