So now I know

So now I know

It took me awhile but I think I finally figured out why the hospital residences are so far from the hospital but right next to the mental hospital. When the employees start to go crazy they just escort them from their residence and next door to be admitted! There have been times walking back from work that I have seen individuals I would classify as slightly “strange”; they mutter to themselves, they stagger around, they are dressed oddly, and sometimes I wonder if they have escaped from the mental hospital or are hoping that some passerby will put them out of their misery and just admit them. It does bring me comfort that people like my house mate works there; he is a 6’5 300lb Scotsman that can appear quite intimidating if you are meeting him for the first time. Or maybe they just put him in our house since it seems that we are dubbed the “stressful jobs house” with my house mates working as surgical nurses, ward nurses, and then two audiologists under pressure to see all the patients on our waiting lists by Christmas. Just some humor for your day…got to love England!
