The Boerewors Emergency Medicine Chronicles: Just in case Saturday ends up being Judgement Day...

Friday 20 May 2011

Just in case Saturday ends up being Judgement Day...

...as a lot of people believe it will...when "The Rapture" happens tomorrow at 1800 Eastern Time...

...(that's the time in the USA,-naturally...)

...then please...

...have a 'borrie' roll and relax...

By the way...if you are one of my colleagues then do not phone in sick...

...there is no doubt in my mind that there is not one single one of you who will be going to heaven...

Also...don't phone in and say that you cannot get to work because of the zombies wandering the streets...

...or that the only food available in McDonald's was Manna...and that it tasted too sweet...and that you think you're allergic to it...

Also...don't phone in and say that you joined the Universal Life Church on Friday night and have been saved and therefore no longer need to come to work...

PS....the fridge magnets are for sale...a limited edition of 20....so make me an offer!

PPS...I believe that there is something out there watching over us-the Government.

PPPS...I still miss you so very much...you know who you are

*sigh*

PPPPS...pass the mustard please...

What I do and where I do it

Naturally...naturally... this blog is a complete work of fiction.Of course it is... None of the people (or their relatives) or any apparent colleague or indeed any event mentioned within the blog, exist, or have ever existed. Really..no..really...Honestly..trust me..*right*

If you think that you recognise yourself, -particularly if you are a clinician or an ex-girlfriend-, then you have a narcissistic personality disorder.

However if any part was true then the introduction might read something like this:-
I work as an autonomous Emergency Nurse Practitoner serving a charming English seaside town called Little-Ghetto-on-Sea, on the East coast, closer in fact to Europe than to London.
We treat a wide range of minor illness and injury , with admitting privileges to St Vulva's, the main academic hospital some 20 miles away .
It is apparently one of the UK's most densely populated city's...and fits Littlejohn's discription in the Daily Mail when he says,"most British seaside towns are run-down dole-claimant dormitories,which seem to take a perverse delight in driving people away through a combination of rip-off prices , tatty boarding houses and disgusting food and draconian parking regimes" . It often feels as if it is the setting for 'Little Britian' which most foreign readers will know is more social commentary than cutting-edge comedy.Indeed most of the male patients are typically shaven headed pierced,inked,dirty-fingered,dull eyed ,baseball-cap wearing, unemployed smokers with prodigious drinking skills. The women have a limited vocabularly, ranging from "innit" to "my (human) rights" with not much else inbetween.Invariably they have several children from different consorts (love that word!) and walk through the town talking on their cell phones and ignoring their children.There are few vegetarians and even fewer graduates.
