I watched Grey's Anatomy whilst doing the ironing, and saw a clip of casualty and wondered.

Surely patient care must suffer if you are constantly sleeping with people, especially if you are married to someone who is not them (who inevitably works in some other, closely interacting dept within the same hospital).

Also former lovers, from previous jobs or colleges seem to turn up and create havoc to.

Do you think I have identified the cause of NHS delays?

Grey's is in Seattle, but think the NHS is immune from this sort of stuff.

Funny though - I do my ironing watching Grey's too

But Holby City used to feature a lot of bonking in management offices iirc - have not watched for some time!

I hope so

nope and nope

Not getting any AF?

You'd be suprised

I always thought the doctor/nurse thing was a load of crap until I worked in a hospital and actually became a cliche !

Who did you do Shake?

Well I had quite steamy flirtations with one of the consultants....who had also been engaged to one of the other nurses.

Also had a brief fling with one of the SHO's. We used to have to work together too. We thought we'd done well keeping it a secret....everyone knew!! It ended badly when my exp turned up on the ward and threatened him ! I was relieved when his stint on my unit was over. Unfortunately he returned to the ward as a Registrar a year later- I could have died!!

See I was right about the exes!

nope.
never.

(mostly their not very nice anyway)

I find them all quite reminiscent of my single nurse days No Angels was the best!

there are no fit men working in the hospital I work at

in fact, I have worked in various hospitals for over 20 yrs, and I can safely say I have never had my end away at work (am I doing something wrong?)

can i just say...ITS NOT REAL, casualty...utter UTTER crappy bollox of the highest order, greys anatomy is margionally better, but all made up and fictional.

nah, not true at all. nothing juicy goes on...that i know of.....but then i am pretty sheltered and old so wouldnt know it even if they threw everything off the desk and started there in front of me.....

Claim to fame:

I was IN Casualty once....

Doubtless many of you will recall my role as Nurse In Background in the 1997 Xmas major incident special.

...my elbow featured particularly prominently for several seconds.

I think clearly you are doing something wrong AF - do you have your scrubs specially tailored so you can wear a wonderbra under them? [helpful emoticon]

You are def doing something wrong! Unless all these dramas were base on the action at my hospital

bugger

there is not one man at work that I would consider shaggable though

should I apply for a new job do ya fink ?

Is there some kind of nhs national cv service

x years experience
salary requirement xK
additional requisites - fit and available male staff

Def change hospitals it could change your life

Can you imagine if you are laid in a hospital bed seriously ill and a Dr and Nurse start having a heated discussion about their love life while stood over your bed ? .

Oh we never did that, that would be very unprofessional!

They are v professional on tv - they only do it with patients in a coma

do it with the patients in a coma ????????????

sorry, flirt over their heads.
I amsure they would lose their bonus if they did it with a comatose patient

Note to self:

I must not put kisses on the MRI scan request form

I've not worked in a hospital for a while, but don't remember anything very exciting going on. But bear in mind that hospitals employ a lot of staff and that it is quite common to find a partner (or have an affair) at work, so there must be quite a bit of flirting going on I guess. In my previous work place I knew two couples who met through work, but we didn't have much direct patient contact there (PCT land). All those medical dramas are full of crap. The only one I liked was the Green Room, and that was just surreal

YES, YES, YES, OOOOHH YES.....Sounds I once heard coming from the linen room on a ward I worked on!!!

Plenty of affairs going on in the hospital where I work, a consultant and his research assistant, a secretary and a porter. I met my husband at work and he heard the secretary and porter at it in her office at 7.30 the other morning!

Lots of flirtation with the doctors/SHO's/Registrars but neither me or the people in my office have done anything. Great place for gossip though!

Its nothing like Casualty or Holby though, the people having these affairs are rank.

Never had anything quite so exciting happen to me at work. Have to agree that the most similar tv show in my experience was No Angels, how it made me laugh

oh what a let down thread, was hoping for some juicy stuff.

at retiredgoth's bit part

Never mind the hospitals, the senior echelons of the BMA are rife with it, I tell you! If your partner or dh/dw is a doc who gets involved with the BMA, do keep a close eye on them...

politics, yes oh yes

shagging.....nope

(disclaimer, I met dh at work, but we didn't get together till after I left that hospital. We currently work at the same place, but different units)

Nothing steamy or exciting happens where I work.The most steamy/exciting thing that happens is when a patient attempts to have a crafty fag in the toilets and sets of the fire alarm,resulting in a horde of firemen clunking down ward to yet another false alarm.Political,probably amongst the consultants vying for beds and discussing drugs funding/fianaces yes.Hotbed of shagging err,no!
