There were no cops there; about 10 people were waiting - I waited 50 minutes in all; people with babies were seen immediately. Ambulances were continually arriving at the back door.<br /><br />When I was seen I only saw a nurse, never a doctor. The nurse was so busy she kept running out of the room and back in again ("take your shoes and socks off"/leaves the room/comes back/"Get on the bed"/leaves the room/comes back/"move your toes"/leave the room/comes back/gives me a leaflet about sprains/etc.)<br /><br />Eventually she left the room for so long I assumed the consultation was over and left. I never saw any other member of the medical staff; never said goodbye or any sort of formal ending to the visit, technically I may still be there!Nationalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298563601180545788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-21850949209736687052013-07-11T22:47:12.682+01:002013-07-11T22:47:12.682+01:00Very good!

Whether they do so by inference of by spouting semi-medical guff matters little; it still makes them seem rather pathetic. And it is a criminal offence to boot.

Assaulting the police, bus, taxi drivers, doctors and nurses all deserve the severest punishment and maybe if they were dealt with in such away they would stop causing the bother.<br />Put with that the fair number of people who are operating totally pissed-up most of the time, topping up Fridays and Saturdays it is no wonder there is a problem.<br />Whilst I'm sure the cops do hang about a bit longer than they ought, Id rather they did and at least put a little restraint on the foul-mouthed, pissed up yobs who plague the late nights of A&EBowstreetrunnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-68575430356188025662013-07-09T13:54:15.984+01:002013-07-09T13:54:15.984+01:00There are two spurious "blockquote" elem...There are two spurious "blockquote" elements surrounding the full text which are forcing indentation. I don't know your blogging software, but somehow you caused it to "think" that you are quoting within a quote within a quote. Here is the offending HTML (slightly edited to "blackquote" and with <> changed to + permit it to be posted by the very picky comment software which doth protect thine blog honor):<br /><br />+blackquote class="tr_bq"+<br />+blackquote class="tr_bq"+<br />For reasons that I need not trouble you with [...] as Milton put it. +/blackquote+<br />+/blackquote+<br />+/blackquote+<br /><br />The blockquote after Milton seems intentional -- probably for Milton's quote. The other two "just happened". Probably you had more text selected than you thought at the time.<br /><br />The usual way that these things are created is, with text selected, some kind of button with a right-facing arrow is clicked, intentionally or not. To get rid of it, select that block of text and find the left-facing arrow that will negate the blockquotes by the reverse operation.<br /><br />Or not, since I doesn't really bother me at all.Old Geezernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-82011697406401729692013-07-09T13:49:00.199+01:002013-07-09T13:49:00.199+01:00You have it set as a quote, you can see the "...You have it set as a quote, you can see the "blockquote" tags in your code, removing them will fix it.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-54247047657538397752013-07-09T09:08:02.903+01:002013-07-09T09:08:02.903+01:00I would if I knew how to!I would if I knew how to!Bystander https://www.blogger.com/profile/10211688955428527960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-87182185705868224792013-07-08T23:26:41.944+01:002013-07-08T23:26:41.944+01:00Standard practice for a junior hospital doctor in ...Standard practice for a junior hospital doctor in Casualty: organize tea for the cop(s).
