Apart from Cosmo my favourite character's Lena Lamont. She's got some great lines. When I came out of Resus and threw my gloves in the bin, I really should've said: <i>Whad'ya think I am?

I mean, he wasn't your patient, ostensibly he was being taken care of, and you didn't have the time to do anything about any of it.

Maybe he thought that would be obvious (<i>blushes again</i>). <br /><br />And why are they running a scenario...(psst - there were cameras in that day, some kind of promo event - wonder if that had any bearing on the matter...) Thank god in heaven the cameras weren't in resus to see me do that handover.<br /><br />It left me with the horrible feeling that I'm actually in that category of people who, when they're expose to some unusual event just accept everything that's happening <i>and fail to take action</i>. 'That can't possibly be a piano just about to drop on my hea...' kind of thing. <br /><br />Whadda sap.<br /><br />Thanks for commiserating, Tom.

Then out again, ears glowing so much that cars brake. <br />And it is an easy mistake to make, after all they were being pretend serious. Now why didn't anyone tell you that they were doing a scenario, and almost as importantly, why are thy running a scenario like this when they can have the real thing every day?TomVeenoreply@blogger.com
