Re: Hospital Survey
Did you actually feel you went dizzy Steve? Do you get Vertigo?No point in rushing back if you're not ready. You don't want to make one step forward, then two back again.
As for the survey, well I wouldn't have done it.
By the way, any news about that job interview yet?

I can remember everything clearly up to the point where I'm just about to re-hook a curtain back onto the rail then its Bang, and I've whacked my head and elbow and I'm on the floor, dazed and confused.
I am an odd one with vertigo - it's a Yes and a No!
I worked offshore years ago and I'd literally hang out the chopper's open door taking pictures - you could back then as the Gulf had mainly ex-Vietnam chopper pilots!
However, I was working on a Venezuelan jack-up drill barge offshore once and we had to climb the legs to check wall thickness of the pipework prior to a relocation and I froze @ about 80 feet up!
I simply could not move at all yet the chopper I'd flown out in had swooped and plunged all over the sky three days before and I loved it!
I was OK today but a bit nervous - I did have quite a major bang to the head on Monday and you start to worry about all sorts of things - I am 63 now.
Only tomorrow to do now then I'm off again.
Nothing from the job application but the agent I know and they know me and they know I am deaf.
No point in getting hopeful really. stevmk2

Steve, that's nothing to worry about, I'd have frozen about 8ft up!
Vertigo doesn't have to be only about heights anyway. I had a terrible bout of it a couple of years ago, couldn't get up off the floor during an exercise class. Went straight to Docs, eyes flickering all over the place, completely lost balance. It took a while to get over that. Absolutely awful feeling.

Well I guess if you don't get your hopes up, you won't feel so disappointed if it goes pear shaped. On the other hand, try to think positive and you may be pleasantly surprised.

I'm a bit down today because yesterday afternoon I had what amounts to a disciplinary over my accident.
I know that I was stupid using a chair and I never normally do that so I was expecting a telling-off for that but not a recorded procedure that goes on my record.
In the three-and-a-half years I've been there they've had carers almost starting fires, ripping live wires out of equipment and other stupid things I could mention yet they only got a slapped-wrist.
Why did I get a disciplinary?!
Mind you, where I work there's not been any disciplinary issues against women since I've been there, only the small percentage of us men.
We have 85% female management where I work.
p.s The hospital rang again about that survey - 4 times - and each time my wife answered thy switched to the recorded Survel Programme - how rude is that?! stevmk2
