Is there a Nurse in the house?

I've been lyin' in bed since half past three

Cos I've landed me self in't Infirmary 

I went and did summat daft you see 

And they're 'avin to operate on me knee

        

I wouldn't mind I only came in to see

Any doctor or nurse int' A and E

I ended up in a cubicle on a sort of bunk

And next to me was the obligatory drunk

 

She must've consumed a gallon of gin

Cos she'd fallen over

and smashed up her chin

The staff nurse tried to calm her down

But she threw a punch and knocked her t' ground

 

Cops were called but weren't surprised 

As the same old Biddie had nearly died

Last time she was here the Sergeant said

But added: "unfortunately this time

she's still not dead"

 

Now that may seem harsh but we can understand

'cos Nurses put up with this on a scale

that's grand

Trying to help 'em but getting stick

Then wiping up all those idiots sick

 

Anyway, as for me and my dodgy knee

I slipped and fell just after tea

It didn't help that I've always been bandy

Oh and then there was that bottle of brandy....

Droll fun with some NHS reality included. In my policing
past, I had dealings with many alcohol imbibers, some of whom
stick in the memory. One whom I shall call "Mary" (not her
real name) was an old dear (?) equipped with a walking stick
which she was not averse to using aggressively in her cups.
She could be such a pain that ambulance crews groaned when
some well-meaning passer-by called them to aid what they
saw as a poor old dear collapsed in a doorway...so many times.
Calls to the A&E were almost as frequent when she got taken
there and began to get naughty with the staff. We knew without being told who it would be causing the problem.
