It doesn't cost too much
To pay extra for a private room in hospital, save for it now, you'll need the rest when the time comes. Otherwise you'll be sharing your life for a week with 5 old guys with various stages of emphasyemia and one chap who ripps out a fart every 5 mins.

You'll soon be turfed out of that room if someone that actually has a clinical need for it.
Save your pennies and spend it on booze.

And you get a room to yourself anyway.

Top tip: look at the ID badges.

When you cant see through the sweat running into your eyes
And are secreting various bodily fluids from every orifice.
Focussing on ID badges is the last thing you think of, and in no way would help you know what they looked like anyway :p

Or, you know, ask them to hold them up for you.

...Or the mental case in the next bed, who won't stop wittering all day and night about how he's "sorry, and it's not my fault, I didn't do it!" [what the hell was he doing on a Gastro-Intestinal ward?]

...Or the bloke who's lost control of his anal sphincter due to being nil-by-mouth for five days[*]

[*] No, erm, hang on - that was me....7 Days on Morphine was nice though, it's the only upside to a case of acute pancreatitis...

I fucking hate other people
I wish they would all die... away from me so I can be better than everyone in peace!
