Wednesday 30th April- grumpy doctor sucks the fun from Ward Round

Wednesdays are ward round, which is always interesting to attend if you have the chance. First is the problem card from House Parent Favour. Then nurse Eunice and the doctor for the week reads the medical report. Workshop gives a progress report and Rev Peter gives his chaplains report. We all have a get togeather and have long descussions about the residents and what can be done to help them get better as quick as possiable and descuss what is holding them back. This week’s doctor was inhumanly grumpy to the point I pray he will reconsider his career choice and work with machines instead. It was such a constant to the last weeks who was so full of laughter and good will. He had got sick one night and I gave him some of my English drugs to make him better and ensure we would not have to loose him before wardround. The next day he was praising the lord and testifying that he has been cured. He enjoyed my dehydration salts to much he admitted to taking an extra unnecessary one in the morning just so he could enjoy the blackcurrant flavour.
