Now we are onto hospitals I just have to add this story.
I’d been in the ward for about three days with a catheter in and one of the young nurses a cute wallflower of a girl (I just adore those girls) came in to give me an injection in the stomach, just before she put the needle in she said just a little prick and then drove the needle into my abdomen well it was hanging at a reasonable size despite the dilemma of the tube and I was pretty quick with the wit and replied no it’s not actually it’s quite a sizable unit, which you can probably tell from how big it is soft” well she blushed and I continued “think of a Red Bull can but about that much longer” she went bright red and her jaw dropped open, I then said “That’s why the more experienced nurses say you’ll just feel a little scratch”. Well it caused a bit of a stir because there were some very attentive nurses for the next couple of days :)
