Merciless community hospital 16 miles southwest of me.
Reflagged as “bon secour”, the EMT’s say it as “ bone sucker” or “bomb secure” over the radio.
It was a better hospital when it was run by The Sisters of Mercy.
Those days were long gone years ago.

I had full blown pneumonia and had to stop at that hospital.
They were doing a disaster drill that day and they got to play at being doctors and nurses.
Sat there for two hours listening to the disaster drill chatter before anyone noticed that there were real patients to attend to.
“I can see up your dress.” guy on stretcher on the floor.
“*giggle giggle* Silly, you can’t talk. You’re supposed to be dead!” nurse busy playing at her job.

I said something smartmouthed in response, which got attention as a voice that deep and demonic sounding doesn’t normally come from a sixteen year old kid without sulpher hexafluoride.
I made sure to hack up an orange lunger too.

NHS probably would have tranq darted me and made certain breathing was compromised.
After all, I disrupted the disaster drill...

Morning moose!

oops, they stirred the inner Darks, very dangerous.

You would have been put on an antibiotic drip in A&E, then transfered to the specialist area of the hopital for that complaint.
If you came in by 'NHS Taxi' there would be no waiting at all, it is a well used trick.

The orange lunger was a nice touch.
