She is in Ward P, Room 23.”

“I will just put you through to the ward.”

“Hold on, I will just check her notes… Oh, I am pleased to say she is doing very well and may be discharged on Monday.”

says the nurse.

“Oh, that is wonderful news! I am so happy, thank you.”

“You seem very relieved, are you a relative, or a close friend,” asks the nurse.

“No, I am Mrs Tiptree in Room 23.

Nobody tells you a damn thing here!”
