mm.

hospital stories...

well, i've actually met some quite deecent people in hospital- a war veteran, who told me all about the old days which was facinating, and also a few really nice nurses

1 i remember mostly, her name is diane.. every time i go in their, she remembers me- and makes me feel as welcome as possible.

our local hospital also has a radio station and sometimes the djs go round with the trolley to the wards, and i've had a few songs played on that- in fact when i was really young, i actually spoke a little through the microphone and i've a tape of myself talking to the presenters

i've also less than perfict experiences- when i went in once, the lady in the bed next to me yvonne actually died in the night- and that was terrible to watch.

hmm what else..

oh yeah, their was 1 time where the nurses wanted to cheer up the ward, so we had like a little lottery- they made us cards with numbers on and then gave out little prizes to the winners (sweets from the vending machine, cups of coffee) just a bit of fun really.

their was also another patient called erric, and often when we were bored i'd qquiz him about history, or current events, or something.. just to pass the time

i remember every evening it used to be at 10 pm that the staff changed shifts, and i'd like to listen in to the switch- hear about all the patients (even me) to see what they had to say, and also because i was curious i guess

i also made lots of use of my hospital tv, most of the time either watching cartoons, or chat shows.. dunno why those 2 particular types of show- i guess because i was pretty limited in choice

i could go on for ages about my experiences in hospitals- i've been to them so much, that i actually don't mind them anymore... my only real big fear of them are the rooms when the lights click off- no really... they look all.... i don't even know how to describe it!

it just horrible
