catmag 336 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 It's been a funny old night here at the hospital. A few ponderings.. - Branston Pickle flavour mini-cheddars. Revolting yet strangely addictive when you're starving at 4am - A teenager now in intensive care with nasty injuries. He nicked a car then crashed it. Justice or tragic? - An asylum seeker lady over in labour ward who has had the most unbelievably horrible life. She became pregnant following a brutal rape and now the beautiful little person staring at her through the side of the cot with the biggest brown eyes I've ever seen is the only thing she has in the entire world. She's besotted by him and it's heartbreaking. - Metro radio are playing the Fraggle Rock song. WTF?! It really has been a strange evening, and being on nights makes me think about things too much....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44113 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That's canny sad about the lass who's been raped. As for the teenager crashing that car - probably justice tbh. He'll not be doing it again in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieMessiah 2 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 What a totally random evening. You should store all this stuff up for your blockbuster novel, Nurse Catmag. If you can weave all of that into a book, you'd be able to jack it all in and retire early to the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieMessiah 2 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 She's already approaching retirement age if you're to be believed. True. I did assume, from her obsession with all things feline, that she was probably an elderly spinster... Did I ever apologise for that by the way catmag?

Guest alex Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Wor lass is a nurse and she brings it home with her from time to time. I'm sure she'd rather just forget about it all but it's not that simple. You do get attached to your patients. Different in A & E perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Suppose. If you work with someone day in day out and they peg it I can understand it having an effect. But i used to strip and bag 3 or 4 bodies a week, and unless they were young kids I can honestly say it had very little effect on me. The only exceptions being when the familys identified them in the hospital. Wasnt nice seeing inconsolable family members breaking their hearts.

But hey at least your heed won't be battered, will it? Hadaway and shite man . The point is I get to have a laugh with my mates and lass, make as much money at work whilst doing as little as possible and hopefully have kids one day to pass on all my lifes wisdom. Not to worry about whether a joyrider deserves to die or not. 'Fate is not set, it is what we make it' as sarah connor once said. Unfortunately some shit just happens for no reason.

sammynb 3342 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 whats that got to do with not drinking like? What that's all you abide by from the ideology? Straight edge is not a religion, it is a philosophy. Some straight edgers feel that having a clear mind is a better way to approach life and/or spirituality. Many are atheist, such as Good Clean Fun, or agnostic, often believing in personal responsibility and rejecting the idea of a deity or any divine moral law. Karma?

Kid Dynamite 6964 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Have a word! I do my bit for society by not being a cock end on a weekend, getting pissed, having a fight and getting locked up or ending up in Casualty. I dont take days off work due to being hungover either. Still didnt make me go home worrying about all the patients I had seen at work that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who can't handle their booze (most of the Bigg Market / Quayside seemingly) get right on me tits like. Spoil it for the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44113 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Nothing wrong with hungover sickies tbh. Never been locked up or been to hospital, but I defend my right to chuck a sickie. Having said that, I don't drink on school nights anymore cos the hangovers are too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
