Today, I had possibly the lightest workload ever - a young child for an ear op (anaesthetic time, 10 mins, surgical time, 2 mins); and an adult for a nose job (anaesthetic time 12 mins, surgical time 4 mins). Great! Then, I looked at the afternoon list: Kidney stones. Time to pull out all the toys - this one's gonna be fun...
Now, Mouse happens to work at one of the many NHS trusts that have two (or more) hospital sites - guess who got tapped to go over to the other site to cover a short list? You guessed it. So, this afternoon was spent holding the hands of two old ducks with no pain threshold whatsoever, while they had pain nerves killed. Joyous(!)
Nearly home now, after fighting motorway traffic, and the phone gos. The boss has shifted me back to the other site tomorrow, because one of Mouse's colleagues is ill - there gos the lay in. Bugger.
Ah, well - on holiday soon, and interview in a week.
