Christmas Day after a bottle of Champagne already!
Walpole, South West WA
Life upside down...
Dear Sir/Madam
As you can imagine, much madness ensued.
The resus team was called and the nurse was resuscitated on the floor to an audience of patients, relatives and the old ladies that sell sweets from a roving trolley. The doctors worked valiantly using shots of adrenaline and atropine mixed with cries of "you WILL NOT die, God Damn you". Fortunately only one round with the defib machine was required before we managed to find a pulse and the nurse woozily came round.
Meanwhile the maggot escaped his chocolaty hideout undulating towards the nearest patient who happened to have a very nasty wound on his foot. There he found solace hidden amongst the rotting flesh.
We searched high and low for the beast whilst evacuating the patients into the unit next door. The pest control team were called and arrived adorned with fluorescent over-alls and WW2 gas masks. They commando rolled into the unit lobbing gas bombs to all corners of the ward.
Through the fog I detected the patient sobbing uncontrollably.
This is when I thought 'enough is enough. No-one makes my patients cry' (unless it's me with an ill aimed needle). Mr Big Chocolate Manufacturer Man, you have made me very cross. Patients do not need to worry themselves about the quality of the chocolate that they offer to the angels working within our health care system.
I ask you, how would you feel? All I request is an affirmation that this has been a disservice towards the hard working health professionals and patients
....a small holiday in Bali might cover the angst felt during this stressful time
Yours sincerely
PS If you were wondering, the patients wound came up lovely after the maggots feast. Thank god for small mercies!
The very caramello caramel. No chocolate was spared!
