Last month, I had a bike fall and spent a couple of nights in hospital.
The medical care in general was excellent, but the nurses in particular were absolute stars - I was in the high-dependency orthopaedic ward, and I think I was the only one in the ward that only had a physical injury - most of my ward-mates also had dementia. I was quite humbled by the care and compassion that the nurses showed towards all of their patients.
I am planning to drop by the ward some time today or tomorrow with a small gift. But what should I get?
A pal who is a nurse said “don’t get chocolates - we get too many of those at Christmas”.
She suggested getting a box of “nice teas” or something like that - she said that in her ward that sort of thing is appreciated over chocolates.
And my daughter suggests getting a dozen mini-bottles of Prosecco - the 200ml “glass and a half” ones.
Any other ideas? I’m tending towards the Prosecco suggestion at the moment...
Whisky and cigarettes.
Just trust me on this.
