Medical trip: Day 5

In which The Old Man's ward turns into the Marie Celeste.



Old Man's Old Man rang me to say he'd tried ringing the ward 4 times, but there was either no answer or a recorded message.



So later - I tried too. No answer.


The Old Man is bobbing about the ocean on a deserted ship. Sails are flapping and ropes are creaking. The occasional bedside trolley rolls from one side of the ward to another.

But people - there are none.
