Unfvckingbelievable!
Letter, confirmed by phone call, said "Report to ward 6 at 3pm" so I did.
Went to Nursing Station and handed over the letter. Nurse read the letter and looked a little shifty. "Take a seat in the Day Room Mr Snoopy and we'll sort you out in a few minutes"
1 hour later
Two nurses appear in the day room doorway (One filled it on her own!!) "Hello Mr & Mrs Snoopy ..... erm .... we weren't expecting you and we don't have a spare bed"
"Whaddya mean you weren't expecting me? The letter clearly says 3pm Ward 6 today's date"
"Oh yes we can see that but we had not been notified ..... ermmm...... well we had actually but we have only just found the notification and tomorrow's theatre list ~ it was tucked inside your notes"
Much shuffling of feet and embarrassed glances between the fat one and the slender blonde one. "We have spoken to the Registrar and he says will you please go home and come back at 0730 in the morning .... you are first into theatre so don't be late"
"Do I have an option?"
More foot shuffling and a slight blush to the cheek of the fat one, who it turns out is "in charge".
"Well not unless you want to sleep in a chair, because of ward closures for redecorating we don't have a spare bed in the hospital"
"OK I'll see you in the morning"
"Thank you for being so understanding"
"Oh think nothing of it ~ I'll see you in the morning then"
"Not me you won't ~ I'm not on duty tomorrow"
Blondie chimes in with a bright
"But I'll be here ~ see you in the morning Mr Snoopy"
Honestly! They couldn't organise a fvck in a brothel!
