Welcome back. How come you went into hospital in the first place?
You dial 999 from a lying down position. At least I did
And then people in green outfits turn up and shout at you as if you are either stupid or deaf before bundling you into an ambulance, asking a lot more damn fool questions the answers to which will then be written on a form. When you get to A&E a nurse will ask you many of the same questions and eventually a doctor, usually with a heavy Asian accent, will ask you the same questions. The questions and answers are now on three different pieces of paper and when they decide to admit you a nurse or ward secretary (depends on what time you are admitted) will perch on the edge of your bed, call you by your first name and ask you similar and sometimes the same questions. The following day, assuming you haven't either died or murdered someone in between times a more senior doctor in a suit will turn up and repeat the process. Eventually they will inform someone, usually not you, that you may go home BUT only after a further wait of a couple of hours whilst the pharmacy gets a prescription ready for you.
Spot on (except add in a few more doctors). Also add in that Mrs Nick turns up while I am outside the house in the back of the ambulance and starts banging on side of it.
Decided to go out earlier and found my car battery had gone flat in my absence
Asked Mrs Nick for the jump leads and she produced them and then asked what I was waiting for."Your Car," I suggested
What did she expect me to attach them to??
