OBVIOUS

Waiting in the hospital is a strange thing. Full of hustle and bustle but strangely nobody ever seems to be in a hurry. It’s not too bad for the first half hour but after that you start to play “GUESS THE INJURY” just to pass the time. It’s not the same playing it in outpatients though as the patients are always there for a long standing problem. It’s a much better game if you’re sat in casualty. I’ve always said that when you’re waiting in casualty you should make people hold signs. I mean, you’ve got the obvious patients with bandages, cuts and broken bones, etc, but then you always get the people who are sat waiting with no obvious signs of injury. They’re sat there normally, comfortably and in no pain (that you can see), so you say to yourself, “When they get up they’ll have a limp or a bad back or something”. When they’re called though, they just get up and walk normally. So you think, “Ok, then they must be accompanying a patient”, but then it turns out that they are the patient. It’s these people that need the signs holding up. It not fair teasing us like that. They should have a sign saying something like “TOY INSERTED HERE”.

Sam’s quite nervous whilst we’re sat here waiting for her clips to be done. She’s done some googling to find out more info but there doesn’t seem to be much on it. I’ve got visions of the same gun that they use for ear piercings but one that shoots into the breast instead. Maybe it’s the same way they do the biopsy but in reverse. Either way they’ll have to do it twice. Also, how big are these clips going to be? Guess we’ll find out soon because she’s just been called in………..
