Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 In today's paper ......here......although the picture was of a pair of pink Crocs in my copy...we've seen these before. Read to the end and see how much the company makes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I heard somewhere that the mark-up is terrific. I don't mind that so much if the product is good, but I resent people making a fast buck out of selling rubbish products, or exploiting a captive market by over charging for a service.

Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 The story was denied by a hospital spokesperson according to lunchtime Look North...they said they were "in dialogue with staff about appropriate footwear"but that no particular type of shoe had been banned.

The Dogmother Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Volterol is the best, had it after my c section... zero pain and a real high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 can you get that from the chemist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryl Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 "can you get them from the chemist" And speaking as a wimp with an allergey to ibuofren (which is literally a pain), what is the active ingredient ? hugs Cherryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm pretty sure that voltarol is prescription only. It's a brand name for diclofenac sodium, another non-steroidal anti inflamatory.

Cinnamon Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Honestly, what are you lot like? Back to Crocs. I think they actually have a point about them being dangerous for Nurses to wear. I looked into this a bit more & they are concerned about the danger of a needle stick through the holes. So they might have a point..........as it were.

The Dogmother Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Snowy's right about Volterol Yes you can get them without holes Laura - there's a style called 'professional' I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
