Readily Assaulted

Now, I promised I'd blog about what happened today in my sessions, but there was an event.

There are two conservatories here, one for the ladies and one for the men. The men's has heating and a tv, so sometimes the ladies come over to watch it in the evening. Nothing weird there!

One of the men, who is a bit overreaching and likes to tell people how to do things properly was exposed for smuggling in alcohol! Basically, he passed out in the dining room and the nurses were "concerned" so they went to check his things to see if he had taken something he shouldn't have. They found... a box of Pinot Grigio (a type of white wine) that he was mixing with apple juice as a disguise!

Now, that's a bannable offence right there, as the entire hospital is non-smoking and no alcohol allowed, but it gets worse. They cart him off to his bed, with oxygen and give him an ECG and check his vitals, etc and after a couple of hours, he wakes up. One of the women was in the conservatory watching the football, he wandered in, there was some loud noises and she wandered out looking a bit sour-faced.

Turns out she had been sexually assaulted by him when he went in! The nurses escorted him back to his bed and told him to go back to sleep. He went back and started to open and shut the curtains by his bed about a hundred times, muttering the F-word under his breath in various forms, so yeah, I was worried and went to the nurses to say that his actions seemed a bit weird! The nurses kindly moved me down the other end of the ward (even though I didn't ask, but it's closer to the bathroom, so yay) and the rest of us had a discussion as we were concerned!

Strangely, the guy is still on the ward (why weren't the police alerted??!) and we are all a bit shaken to say the least! Who knows what he could do if he wakes up during the night... For me, this is a legitimate "SEND HELP" message. I would settle for food though, as I am starving! I think he's now resorted to bouncing on his bed and it's now midnight... Did he have a stroke? Drain Bramage? Or is this a break of some sort?

Anyway, tomorrow (if I survive) I'll blog about the extremely long day today has been! Night night. Also, I seem to have misplaced a pair of pyjamas... hmmm...
