Episode 176: A hospital Christmas |
Alice: |
Right, all the decorations are up in the ward. Time to wrap the presents and sort out the crackers. |
Matron: |
You're doing such a splendid job, Alice. |
Alice: |
Thank you. I've always loved organising Christmas parties and I want this to be a really fun time for the kids, to take their minds off being in hospital. |
Matron: |
Well, in my book, anything that's good for a patient's psychology is good for their biology! But, I'm afraid I have some bad news. |
Alice: |
Oh, what's happened? |
Matron: |
You see there's a staff shortage on another ward. We need you to work there for a while. |
Alice: |
Oh, when? |
Matron: |
Right now. |
Alice: |
But we're about to have the party. |
Matron: |
I'm sorry Alice, but there's no choice. |
