Spent a night in hospital with Mrs Mackey yesterday, she was getting some chest pains so doctor sent her for an ECG but everything checks out ok which is good.

Was a nice variety of people in the hospital though

2 Prisoners - one unconcious, the other bugger all wrong with them just didnt want to goto a cell, usual story tie up police for 4-5hrs guarding him for him to then refuse any treatment and discharge himself.

The 80 year old who was brought in by his entire family (at least 8-9 people with him) who stand in front of the door blocking anyone else coming in.

The blind drunk - barely able to do anything other than sleep and throw up.

The "my ear hurts" person who then moans after waiting 10minutes.

The poor woman who has cut her foot very badly but cant get to the reception desk because "my ear hurts" is busy complaining again that his now been waiting 15minutes

Plus the usual banged heads, black eyes, broken noses associated with a good friday night. Dont know why people get in such a state they end up in hospital, personally I may be getting old that I prefer a quite weekend in but I'd rather in bed at the end of the night than in hospital for the sake of "fun".

was there the usual old frail bloke walking around with a drip?

"I prefer a quite weekend in "

Is the difference between quiet and quite still not known in the police?
Nearly 30 years ago I had to correct a policeman on the difference when signing a statement which the good officer had written.
