Back in the day when Staff Nurse Badger was newly qualified, keen and actually liked his patients I worked upon a burns unit.
The place was ALWAYS hot(burns units have to be be even warmer than most regular hospital wards due to the punters having lost sizable tracts of skin, your body's main source of heat regulation) and it took some time for me to adjust and I was frequently heard vocalising my discomfort.

One fair morning in May(it wasn't but I listen to a lot of folk music and I've been itching to use that phrase like, forever) I was helping one chap who was coming to the end of his inpatient stay get washed and dressed and asked 'I'm still not getting used to the heating in this place, are you baking as well?'

At least two of them appear to be on my 'fans' list.
That's the internet equivalent of watching something with loads of sex and violence in it so you can make a complaint to the BBC.

Hello there, by the way.
