Hospital Trolley


Hi, guys

The Tek and Ed stories have prompted me to make a post of my own about one of 'those times'

About 5 years ago I was working in a hospital in the south of England. One night, there was a Doctors Mess party. My friends and I decided that the best way to prepare for this event was to have a Tequila slammer session before the party.

After 4 hours of Tequila slammers, we wobbled our way down the hill to the party. Entry was £5 (steep) but booze was free. After 2 hours, we'd finished all the wine and had moved on to the beer.

At some point during the night, we got chatting to the DJ and got to know him quite well. So well, that at one point in the evening, he shouted over the PA "Mark, have you farted again? Cos it stinks around here". I raised my hand in acknowledgement and took my moment of glory.

By about 3am, the party was over because we'd finished all the beer. We made our way up the hill to the nurses' home where we planned to crash for the night. Unfortunately, my friend Ann was too pissed to get the key in the door. While I was waiting I thought "fuck it - I'm gonna lie down" and settled on a hospital trolley next to the door.

I next heard lots of shouting and whoo hooing as my trolley was wheeled out onto the balcony. I had become the victim of the hour. I felt hands around the side of the trolley as I was held down and manouvred to the edge of the steps. I then felt a shove in my back followed by a jaw-shattering JUDJUDJUDJUD as I was released down the steps from the nurses home. I waved in triumph as I reached the bottom of the steps, thinking "haha I survived" but quickly realised that I was now on a narrow footpath on a very steep hill with parked cars on one side.

I enjoyed the ride (!) for a while until the curve of the path made my out-of-control trolley crash into a car. The trolley stopped. I didn't and landed about 10 feet further on. Of course I did the honorable thing. I ran away.

I glanced back at the metal destruction behind me and thought nothing more of it. Until the next morning when I spotted the CCTV cameras which must have captured every classic moment. The whole day was spent shitting myself everytime the phone rang because I was convinced that I was banged to rights.

But I got away with it.

Hehehe Mark
