Same Notes

Charlie isn’t wrong about one thing: most of what we’re discussing here probably has a perfectly mundane explanation that we’ll all roll our eyes about in a year’s time. It’s easy to look back on a ‘scare’ and feel silly, and I hope that’s exactly what happens here. For what it’s worth, the official hospital line remains completely unchanged. There have been no alerts from the trust, no special briefings from management, and no ‘new guidance’ issued to the nursing staff. In the world of healthcare, no news is usually a very good sign. If there were a real threat, the bureaucracy would be churning out memos and mandatory training sessions faster than we could read them. The fact that everything is quiet on the administrative front suggests that, at least as far as the experts are concerned, there is no ‘outbreak’ to worry about. I’m happy to be the skeptic if it means I’m right. I’ll keep doing my job, Charlie can keep enjoying Reddish, and we can all go back to worrying about things that actually matter, like the waiting times in the pharmacy.
