Not directly an ambulance book, though, more a psych thriller. <br />Thanks again for the lovely comment, and for reading the blog! :)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-44930554424720261102011-09-24T02:24:07.613+00:002011-09-24T02:24:07.613+00:00It is a rarity for a person to be able to write li...It is a rarity for a person to be able to write like this. You must realize this! Write a book :) I want to read it! This was just so eerie and sad and I should not have read it just before bed because I feel like I'm in the fog myself now.Blogging to Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172041571721243456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-39270452525014745642011-09-04T13:28:04.092+00:002011-09-04T13:28:04.092+00:00karla - When we got to the hospital the nursing st...karla - When we got to the hospital the nursing staff were v well aware of Jez. As were many of my colleagues. 'Jez? Oh yeah - we've been bringing him in ever since I started, and that was over ten years ago...' <br />So it's strange that I've not come across him before, but I have found that with some of our regulars - but in time, all 'frequent flyers' are visited...<br /><br />In terms of him finding relief, though, I'm sorry to say it looks as if he's been suffering in this way for quite some time.<br /><br />anon - The only way I could keep him calm was agreeing to sing him my favourite Pink Floyd song (off wish you were here - the title track) whilst he played the opening riff on air guitar. I must admit I quite enjoyed it, and it certainly seemed to work. When he was delivered to the hospital and I was chatting to colleagues o/s the dept., someone said to me: 'So - did you end up singing Pink Floyd numbers with him?' !!<br /><br />sabine - I suppose the answer is I don't actually manage to stay all that steady. Superficially I appear to, but underneath the engine's working overtime, shuddering and shaking...<br /><br />Lynda - I think that phrase 'marginal patients' pretty much sums it up. Often long term probs, intractable to everyone's best efforts. But I have to say, even though they're often really diff / awkward to deal with, they often compensate by being ultra vivid, and make good stories!<br /><br />***<br /><br />Thanks for all your lovely comments!
