Carry on Matron

Well it's just not getting any better is it? After what has got to be the worst day of snow yesterday, today turned into a bit of a carry on film.
Feeling distinctly poorly I managed to get a doctors appointment for this morning but sadly couldn't get my car out the drive, nor could I get a taxi. To cut a long story short I ended up at the A&E department of the local hospital as my breathing had reached rock bottom and I decided I've still got too much to do before I leave this mortal earth! 3.5 hours later after blood tests, chest x rays and being hooked up to a nebuliser for half an hour I was allowed to come home!
My breathing wasn't helped by the hideous outfits that the nurses seem to wear nowadays! Dreadfully ill fitting, see through and damn uncomfortable looking if you ask me. Not sure exactly if the colours they were all sporting actually meant something but I'm all for bringing back proper nurses uniforms. Going up a dress size may help too girls...
Don't get me started on the doctors - long gone it appears are the famous white coats, now sadly replaced with a rolled up shirt sleeve and cardigan!!! The only way one could identify a doctor appeared to be if a stethoscope was slung around the neck. I was glad to get home and read this weeks copy of Grazia!
Anyway tomorrow is a new day, despite temperatures due to dip to -11 let's hope it brings some normality back to NKD Towers! If Stewart Stevenson wants to redeem himself can you come down to the office any time after 9am tomorrow, we've plenty boxes that need packing!?

Only Gill Eastgate could go to A&E as a patient and come home and write a blog post about the state of the NHS uniforms (or by the sound of it, non-uniforms). That's true dedication to corporate clothing!
By the way, you didn't mention if you're handing in your dinner plate or, can we expect NKD Coporate Clothing Revolution to continue into 2011?
Hope you feel better soon.
Gordon, thanks for your comment. I'm happy to report that my iron lung is holding out and hopefully I will be back in the office tomorrow!
