Out Patients



 Two pairs of eyes, overlapping surgical masks were looking worried,
A gloved hand was on my shoulder.
Sir are you ok? Are you alright? Came from under one of the masks and I noticed that the technician’s eyes were a deep brown with speckles on the iris.
I had dribbled a little on my hospital gown.
Sputum and not wee, thank goodness.
I only noticed that after the fact
I apologised and hurriedly assured the xray staff that I had not arrested as they thought I might of done , but I had fallen asleep in the chair after a long night shift.
Both giggled , more out of relief than humour I thought.

I left the hospital soon after. 
It’s very cold today.
My sister has made me a steak and kidney pie dinner( with starter AND pudding)

    Hope the scan was done close to your home so the drive home afterwards wasn't very long. Wishing you an easily treatable diagnosis or one that shows there is nothing amiss.
    Ah, steak and kidney pie - good for what ails you and how kind of Janet or a different sister.
    Are you safely back home?

    Hugs!

    John is it common to switch from day to night frequently? Here in the states medical staff stay on one shift for a while. It must play hell on your internal clock.

  18. Probably a good thing you had a little kip (is that a word over there too?) at the clinic, not while you were driving! Hoping the tests are clear, and show nothing sinister, and only something easily treated. Meanwhile, enjoy your days off.

  19. I used to regularly fall asleep on the bus when working at a casino. It was a real pain.
