Loved the bearded man in the street, “What I don’t want to hear is the opinion of some punter…”
I used to love media enquiries, when I was the hospital supervisor.
“Is that patient critical?”
“No”
“What about his severe head injury?”
“He’s only got a broken leg.”
“But what about his head?”
“He doesn’t have a head injury, he only has a broken leg.”
“So, aren’t you treating his head injury?”
“No, I think we would’ve noticed a head injury, this is, after all, a hospital.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure this is a hospital.”
“No, that he doesn’t have a head injury.”
“Well, I just spoke to him, he was completely cognisant, and has no visible injury to his head. Do you want to interview him?”
“No, not now.”
