Mrs Ghost Writer and a Huddle of Doctors

We went off to the hospital this afternoon to see Mrs Ghost Writer and we set off early really early because at present parking at the hospital in the afternoon is next to almost impossible at certain times of day. They also have some sort of new parking system in place that folk don’t understand including us as the car park we were in appears not to have the new system in place leading to a mass of folk walking about like Zombies looking for the holy grail. Anyway Mrs Ghost Writer is a bit battered from her op due to the added complexities of previous operations but is recovering and looking forward to escaping, hopefully tomorrow.

 It was all a bit mad visiting today as several of the patients were trying to charge up ipads, kindles and various phones, but for reasons I really don’t know about they appear to managed to get all their chargers mixed up so half of them were complaining that their device was not working. Add to this the added factor that Mrs Ghost Writer is in a corner with a very strange mad little old lady next to her who shouts out in pain a lot, but it appears only when there are visitors or a passing doctor about. And who has mastered the ability to only get half way to the toilet before something really horrible happens, something so horrible I will not mention it here . . . . . No it is truly horrible.




Anyway as you may guess Mrs Ghost Writer is keen to get out as fast as possible which should happen tomorrow all being well, but just in case she is trying to talk some of the patients into digging a tunnel like in the old days when folk would be locked up in the Iron Lung as punishment if they were naughty.  In order to help persuade the patients to assist I drew a picture of a Huddle of Doctors lurking round the corner with sharp pointy things; no one likes to see a Huddle of Doctors at the best of times so when they are all holding sharp pointy stuff . . . . . .  Well if anything will encourage folk to dig tunnels then that should do it……..

  1. Is the Huddle Stethoscope anything like the Hubble Telescope? I hope everything goes fine very soon or sooner for Mrs Ghostwriter.

    1. I like that link Mr ESB I wish I had thought of it before I drew the picture. . . . We are hanging in there and hopefully normality will resume shortly.

  2. In order to throw the doctors off the scent I would encourage the patients to dig UP! Everyone expects tunnels to go down, but nobody ever looked up at the ceiling and said "Ooh look, a tunnel!" Fool proof!

    1. They may be on to the plan Mr H I have heard from tonight's visitors they have moved her bed.

  3. I think your picture of doctors would make a lovely mural in the waiting room of any hospital.

    1. I like it that the ratio of doctors to devices is 3:4

    2. I quite agree Mr Flip and I am available at a modest fee should any hospital be looking at my blog . . . . .

      That 3:4 ratio is important Mr ESB as funding it always a bit tight for the National Health Service in Britain and doctors need to multi task although ideally not directly on the patients.
