to sulk cos I can;t watch the exciting helicopter that is landing outside my hospital window??

[psychomum5]

I wanna see

they pulled all the curtians!

FGS you lot, have some sympathy for me!!!

I would want to look too, but then would regret it for a long time (and probably have nightmares). Imagine if you saw a child that had been involved in an RTA?

Always gives me bad vibes when the helicopter lands. although loads of people do crowd round the windows when it does. They've possibly pulled the curtains because it is bring in something gross - like 3 people stuck together in some freak sexual act that went wrong. or a bloke with a bucket on his head.

gordie, feel bad now.

I do know that it means that something bad has happened, altho the nurses said it can come as transport between hospital when it will take too long on the road.

And the best thing I saw out of the hospital window was 2 people having full sex on a bench just below. We were tempted to throw a bucket of water over them but as we were on the 4th floor decided it might be a bit dangerous to throw things. so we shouted at them instead. They took no notice so we sent security

eccentrica.

ackchully......I have just been told they close curtains cos of stones being flicked and in case it chatters the window and explaode my head travelling thru it.

some here might say that would be an improvement for me

I was once having lunch on a patch of grass on the grounds of a hospital I was working in. No joke, without warning, an Air Ambulance came and nearly landed on my head. Scared me witless - no idea why I didn't hear it before I did.

It was like Dr Romano in ER

usually the big H warns people not to picnic on the helipad.

• no H . I am not a complete doofus.

There was a helipad on the roof - don't know why they were landing on the ground

It will just be a transport chopper or minor injury - Bournemouth isn't a major trauma centre.

Still in then? When are they kicking you out?

She's going for a record, then she can sell her story to chat magazine.

Chat schmat. I think of psychomum as more of a 'Take A Break' girl myself

oi, I am grazia, do you mind.......

the helecoptor was yellow, had castlepoint on the side (they sponser them). I saw as they took off.

the nurses looked .....how come they can look tho......no major imjury (apparently poole hosp is the trauma o dept), I said that was a shame, I was hoping for reports of heads hanging off etc.

True, Poole (see what I did there - ha ha!) get all the nasty injuries, Bomo gets a lot of sprains and stuff!

When I first started working there I was massively disappointed that A&E wasn't anything like ER. It wasn't even like casualty for fucks sake!

Now I am very glad it isn't like that (obviously apart from bemoaning the fact that we have no fit doctors like Luka off of ER)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Luka.

swoon

when I was in resus the other week (wehn I was in with asthma as opposed to this week with my weirdy speech), a heart attack person came in.

well, the call came first, and they were sorting all the medical gumfo out.

someone said it was the only time it was like ER in resus, times like that.

I said they were missing the dramatic music

one of the nurses said we were missing the decent sexy docs

she got glared at!!

and with POOle.....

Hee hee, I love a bit of childish humour me!!

True enough, when a person is having a suspected MI then they go to the first available hospital. Time being of the essence and all that.

When I've been training people out on the wards one of the first questions I always get badgered with asked is what to do in a crash. I used to work mainly on the cardiac unit, so this happened pretty frequently. Bizarrely enough it's during a crash that I've noticed the staff being most calm! I suppose it's drilled into them so much, how to deal with emergencies, that it becomes almost routine.

Oh, and if anyone cares, what the non-essential staff have to do in a crash is get the fuck out of the way! And reassure other patients/shut doors/close curtains. But mostly get out of the way!
