A little hanky with Panky
Posted: 05 Mar 2013, 18:49
I payed a visit to our medical triathlete (ride, ambo, chopper) Greg in his suite at the St George Hospital aka cycling central.
His mate Paul was kind enough to advise that he was in ICU2. Being the good little scout I am, I found my way to this location. It was then advised that Mr Pankhurst has been move to 3 South. I ventured to 3 South. Upon arrival at 3 South I was advised that no Mr Pankhurst wasn't in 3 South. Do you have recommendation as to what part of the hospital I should commence my search in? Was my gentle observation. Back to ICU2 was the response. The look on my face must have resembled that that is oft made by those requiring a bed pan. The nursey made a call and discovered that Panky was currently located on 6 south. I enquired if he could be held there until I arrived or was this part of the fun?
I finally made it to 6 south. I was very glad that I had decided to refrain from wearing my nurse costume. The latex would have been very hot with all the walking around, but I digress. I was directed to Greg's room and I wandered in.
I have to admit my expectations weren't terribly high. However I was absolutely delighted when Greg said "g'day doug" as I walked in the door. We had a very good conversation. Greg was very lucid and aware. Greg was pretty keen to get in touch with Sue his wife. So I called her up. Greg rattled off her mobile number in a rain man style. I got the impression that some stuff is hard coded and rebooted up nicely and the other software will need to be reinstalled in the fullness of time.
I talked to Greg about the ride and how happy we all are. He is very "twitchy". I sort of feel like its the factory settings and now he has to be "personalised".
Another of Greg's mates arrived along with Sue and the kids and I decided it was a good time to practice my bedside manner on someone else. I then hit the road.
I just got a text from Sue and Greg was very happy I visited. Go see him.
Cheers. Dougie
