I went to work for a normal 5-11 shift. Started off doing chicken side with Aaron, it was a bit busy but nothing the two of us couldn't cope with and we had a good laugh while we're at it. At seven I went on my break, had a Chicken Premier and an apple pie and read a couple of chapters of Silence of the Lambs.
Towards the end of my break Phil sticks his head into the crew room and asks if I'll stay on to help out on the close. I've only been scheduled a twenty hour week and I'm in a pretty good mood so I agree. Go back from my break. Cook on regular grill til eleven then we get started on the close.
We finished at about quarter past one in the morning and the five of us were boxing up some happy meal toys ready for the breakfast shift. The others were talking about the negative effects of drugs and Phil started talking about how someone took half a tab of ecstasy and died in agony because they had a bad reaction and it forced half their brain down into their spine.
Now, I've seen plenty of gory films and don't have any problem with them because, subconsciously, I know its not real. However, if something like that IS real and I KNOW its real, that's a different matter.
Phil started talking about HOW it forced half their brain down their spine and I started to feel a bit dizzy. I decided to go and get some fresh air so I turned around to go outside but then my vision went a bit funny. Next thing I know I hear Aaron say "he's just having a lie down" so I opened my eyes and found I was on my back on the floor by front counter.
I got up, not quite sure what had happened, and was led over to a seat while Donna got me a bottle of water and a tissue (apparently I hit something on the way down as I'm missing some skin on my chin and it was bleeding quite a lot at the time)
Then Phil had to fill in the accident forms and check I was able to remember things like the date and what shift I worked and the like, and then he had to take me up to A&E, just to be on the safe side.
A&E.....on a Friday night.....
Got there at about two, twenty past a nurse came over to ask what happened, shine a torch into my eyes and make some notes. About twenty past three the same nurse calls me through, sits me down and then, about ten minutes later, comes back to take my blood pressure, shine her torch into my eyes again and then disappears.
Forty five minutes after that two other nurses show up and one takes my heart rate and the other measures my blood sugar and they both disappear.
Then, just before five a doctor shows up, shines HER torch into my eyes, takes my pulse and asks me what happened. She decides I only fainted, all my blood pressure, rate and sugars are normal and I'm fine to go home. I was outside by 5. Phil drove me home and it was daylight before I got to sleep.
I'm not too bothered about the overly long wait. Phil said I had to stay clocked in for the time I was up at the hospital so an extra four hours at premium rate pay boosted my twenty hour week somewhat.
I've got another 5-11 shift tonight. Phil said I didn't have to come in if I didn't want to, but I probably will. I told him i wouldn't stay on for the close though...
Looking forward to tomorrow night. I'm going on a tour round Old Portsmouth where they tell you about the various ghosts that are supposed to be there, with actors around to re-enact what happened to them. My friend Toni plays a prostitute who gets murdered. Good fun. And, all things going to plan, I will be seeing Toni again on Wednesday....

Sounds like a fun night there sugar.
I find that A & E is most interesting when there are a nice amount of random characters there for me to subtly listen to the ranting of.
Glad you're ok. I did a similar sort of thing when we were watching a video at school of a kid with a javelin through his neck. I have no ide why they made us watch it!
you do know that there is no way your brain can be forced down your spine you pillock

Kingsbury's horses had been cut in several http://startso11.info/programy+kadrowo-p%C5%82acowe.html places, his whip hidden, his buffalo-skins spread on the ground, and the sleigh turned bottom upwards on them.. Well, I'd moughty like five hun'red of it, http://rebestal.info/blog+michaa+wisniewskiego.html ef that's 'greeable to yo'.. When the two turned, at bay, yet with nothing http://rebestal.info/boguslaw+mec.html between them and liberty but a hypnotism of their own suggestion, they saw the black faces of the servants peering over the family shoulders.. At the time of his death http://startso11.info/SAMOCHODY+ZABYTKOWE.html he was about to be made a brigadier-general and was planning to raise a brigade of Kentucky mountaineers for service in the Great War.. or something sufficiently analogous to it for the purpose of our discussion--the dream cannot be its sole manifestation; every dream http://storyah44.info/bramki+era.html may be a wish-fulfillment, but there must be other forms of abnormal wish-fulfillment beside this of dreams.. Seemed to be a resourceful sort of chap who knew how to make money behave itself, http://startso11.info/spos%C3%B3b.html and do its little tricks without balking in the harness.. Fluker having repaired to the bar-room, the former said: Now, Pink, for our settlement, as http://startso11.info/www.methause.com.html you say your wife think we better have one.. He was well aware that he would be asked to take a sail, and as Buller had http://startso11.info/alegr.html driven with him, it would be impossible for him to decline sailing with Buller; but he must see the boat.. I--er--certainly shall do my best, stammered the Colonel, in an attempt to http://startso11.info/Hodowla+ps%C3%B3w+stawka+wi%C4%99krza+ni%C5%BC+%C5%BCycie.html recover his dignity and composure.. There, whenever I chanced to look, I http://startso11.info/Wy%C5%BCsza+Szko%C5%82a+Ochrony+%C5%9Arodowiska+w+Bydgoszczy.html saw him kneel and pray; and there, by day and by night, a funeral hymn was chanted.. I must insist, said the Judge, sternly, that the plaintiff's counsel be http://startso11.info/klubprotector.html allowed to continue his opening without interruption.. So far as I am concerned, http://startso11.info/heroes+serial.html said Mr.. There is, of course, no such psychical free-will. http://startso11.info/bartosz+barczak+domki+letniskowe+nad+morzem.html. In the interests of expediency I therefore postulate that http://startso11.info/przeprost.html the second system succeeds in maintaining the greater part of the occupation energy in a dormant state and in using but a small portion for the purposes of displacement.. Consequently there are two kinds of unconscious, which we do not as yet http://startso11.info/ilitarieri.html find distinguished by the psychologists.. The foreman of the jury struggled to his http://startso11.info/szukanie++adresu+w+Bielsku-+Bia%C5%82ej.html feet.. We may add a few further observations to support the view that these processes designated incorrect are really not falsifications of the normal defective thinking, but the modes of activity http://rebestal.info/sdm+teksty+piosenek.html of the psychic apparatus when freed from inhibition..
