Chapter 7 - Cashed up on hospital vouchers
After a breakfast of porridge (fine) and some kind of grilled fish (weird), which I obviously didn't eat, I was wheeled up to a private room in one of the hospital wards. I had been asked to provide a urine sample (fun) and once this was 'prepared' and ready for pick up I buzzed the nurse's station.....about ten years later someone arrived. My needs weren't urgent but I couldn't help wondering what would have happened if there'd been some kind of medical emergency in my room shoved all the way around the corner and down a long corridor....Hmmm.....
Between breakfast and lunch I attempted to catch up on as much sleep as possible while being periodically woken up by nurses taking my blood pressure etc. A nice lady came in at some stage and explained that she was the Private Patient's Liason and handed me a little gift bag of toiletries and a book of vouchers e.g. free parking and meals for my visitors (d'oh for being all alone) and free access to pay tv (wooot!).
Stay tuned for Chapter 8 - A surprise visit!
