lol Bev, years ago I was in hospital with a kidney stone but as nothing was happening (in between the excrutiating pain), I rolled up my pyjama legs, put my coat on and popped in home to get a book. Nobody missed me! BC XX

visiting times are 2pm til 8pm

it is broadcast all over hosp

leaflets are given to patients rellies on admission

11am

visitor 'can i see mrs x'

me 'sorry not at the moment consultant is doing his ward rounds'

visitor ' well how long is he going to be? cos i have travelled all the way from x '(about 12 miles)

me ' well visiting isnt until 2pm as consultants have ward rounds and nurses have to give treatment'

visitor ' it is no wonder the NHS has such a bad name'

me speechless again
