See You, Jimmys
April 15th, 2005I spent the early half of this week in hospital in the UK having routine tests done on me. It's true what they say about UK hospitals too, they're dirty and unpleasant smelling and the staff were mostly impersonal and seemingly immune to the feelings of patients. Admittedly, I probably didn't enhance the experience by going out out drinking with my mates the weekend before – the resulting hangover combined with the stress of being a fairly healthy young man in a ward full of seriously sick old guys for 2 days and nights was shattering. While listening to the beeps, moans and shudders from the beds around me I vowed to take a bit more care of myself so I don't end up back in there for real someday.
