From TT
EP - said was at end of shift, changing to leave, had convo with SP, it had become very unpleasant and painful for her, DU felt as if she had been cornered, expressed that the end of the shift was not a good time to have the convo, that it had escalated and couldn't get away Felt very upset by what had been said to her.
JR - can you recall report of what had been said to her by SP,
EP - can't give you specifics it was some time ago, the gist was that SP felt DU shouldn't be in CR, must have been some comment likening situation to convicted rapist. I can't remember the exact words, but I remember feeling very sad, it must have been so hurtful a thing to hear. I felt very sad when I heard that comment, that was when Dr U was so upset. I had to comfort DU. Was crying so much.
JR - what sort of crying, can you describe
EP - I suppose sobbing
Fifer : look. Ah ken it's no aye easy on yer first job. Some ay the aulders on site might piss in yer lemonade or hide yer piece box, but it's jist somethin ye go through. Then ye dae it to the new apprentices when ye've served yer time an got yer fill tickets. Aye, ah ken it's no exactly like that in a hospital, and ah ken eh's 26 no 16, but ye ken, ken? Ah wis eywis telt tae get ma heid inta that bag aye cement, n harden the fuck up ken?
JR - back to interview on 9 May, response to Q8, I'm going to ask about the understanding you had from Beth about the tone that SP used, Beth said she had experienced a verbal attack, what did you mean by that
EP - what I understood to be the tone, the tone was said in an aggressive and an unkind way.
JR - Did DU refer to anything about demeanour
EP - in the CR
JR - yes
EP - she said she felt cornered
JR - what do you thinks he meant by that
EP - I did not interpret it, it was what DU said.
JR - what did you say
EP - I said I was sorry this upsetting thing had happened to her, she needed to go home to rest, it was end of shift, I may have signposted her to other support, and I said I would be in touch with her supervisor. I wasn't sure about next steps
Fifer Ye'll get worse than cornered in a changing room in the Vic A&E. There was a loddie in there last Monday wi guts hingin oot and a screwdriver half in the dome. Aye e was fine likes, nae vital organs damaged. He'd been up thae caskieberran flats n got a doin for no payin off es tick.
