Wish him well and enquire if a thermos of turnip broth would help.

I am home having suffered all manner of humiliation, the last involving being pumped full of pressurised iodine and then inserted into some massive magnet.

I have shared wards with old ladies who wandered about all night.

I have been referred to as number 39.

After all this it turns our there is f8ck all wrong with me apart from some mild chest infection, for which I have to take antibiotics for five days.

I have been reading about the sacred prostitutes of Paphos!  eveilgrin:

First rule of being admitted to hospital ~ leave your dignity at home because they will only steal it anyway.

My record was achieved in the Lister Hospital Stevenage where they tried to take blood from my arms and hands 16 times in two hours whilst I was having a heart attack ~ in the end the nurses gave up (never be admitted at night if you can help it) and called the registrar from his slumbers ~ he took the blood from my foot and that f'ing hurts eeek:

It's called a Cannula and it enables them to put drugs straight into a vein if necessary.

Known in the trade as "Bee Stings" 'cos they sting like f*ck. They are to bust any blood clots and/or prevent any  from happening. Anyone with chest pains is given them on admission and usually every 12 hours until the medics are convinced you aren't having a heart attack. Since I take blood thinning stuff anyway these usually cause massive bruises that take weeks to go away. On one stay they bruised my stomach so much with these injections they ran out of places to stick the needles and started jabbing them into my shoulders and thighs.
