Visit to hospital

I have to visit the hospital on a regular basis for a long running ailment that I won't go into at the moment (it's not anything to do with bits better not mentioned) and having turned up at the correct time today, I had to wait the normal hour and five minutes or there abouts. That said, I had the chance to 'people watch' for a while. I am not any kind of pervert but one can't help but notice that nurses come in various categories.

1/ drop dead gorgeous. 2%
2/ stuck up 10%
3/ mumsy 88%

Now you may think this is harsh, but I think it's about right. Even the 'drop dead' ones are perhaps only 'drop dead' thanks to my appreciation of the modern day uniform. The stuck up ones are usually the ones bent on promotion and I would wager, bent as well.

The majority of nurses, according to the press, TV and word of mouth complain that they are under paid, under valued and over worked. I don't want to sound rude (sod it, I will) but I bet they are valued highly at the local cake shops, and work extremely hard achieving that value in their constant visits to such establishments. As for underpaid, well maybe, but spend less time in cake shops and your income would go a lot further, I say.

If this sounds cruel, sorry. But if you are going to keep me waiting for over an hour and give me the chance to think such things, well nursey, it serves you right.

Having said all this, most of them (Bar the stuck up/bent ones), nurses are good sorts, they work hard and move slow and more than likely tell their husbands (or partners, same sex or otherwise) what hard days they have had. They probably tell them of dour blokes with 'why am I waiting faces' who stare too much at them and probably tell them all this over a nice cup of tea and a lovely cream cake.

This rant is not intended to cause offence to anyone who works in the NHS or people 'who get on the other bus'.
