Thanks to all workers away from friends and family today, especially any NHS, Fire, and Police members.

We, (well, most of us!) appreciate the sacrifice you all make, and should be rewarded for.

Wow. When I was on shifts I worked one or the other but not both. The bosses, of course, worked neither.

Honestly, do you even Manager?

Currently sat outside A&E enjoying a quick break. It's been non-stop all shift

Purely out of interest, are the sorts of injuries coming in different to the usual? Less RTA's? More burns or cuts?

Yes, it definitely seems that way. Quite a few coming in with ankle, wrist and elbow injuries too, where they've taken a tumble at home. Although, sadly, my first job today was to transport a woman who passed away in resus to the mortuary, and what made it even worse is that her family were there too.

Tomorrow might be a busy one, as all those who didn't want to ruin Christmas Day by going to the hospital will turn up.

Christmas ruined for a couple of years anyway. My Uncle died around ten years ago on Boxing Day and my Aunt died a few days ago too.

Oh really, one if the lads at work uses "too good to go" on a late shift.. gets a full carvery for 3 quid or so.

Wonder if they'd give him 20% off that haha. I couldnt eat that much so late.

Not so much now but when I did nightshift in my (much) younger days I always found I slept better if I had something to eat before crashing.
