Worked on a hospital ward some years ago leading up to xmas
under a nutty and heavily pregnant Sister.

Instead of trying to relax and let others shoulder some responsibility, for her own and the baby's sakes, she became more and more randomly aggressive, giving out so many shrill bollockings that she regularly lost her voice.

A few days before xmas she got up on a chair and ripped down our lovingly-hung decorations, declaring that the place looked 'like a grotto'. Erm, that was the intention, Sister...

After making us all thoroughly miserable she grudgingly took maternity leave and we all sighed with relief.

Things didn't go well, though. Being a Sister she was given a private room in the same hospital, which meant that she was able to nap undisturbed as her new baby girl slipped away from a cot death beside her, only a day old.

Very sad indeed. Dunno if her work stress contributed to it, but I bet she believes it did.

I was LOLing
but then I serious'd when I read this post. My sister was a cot death. It's awful. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You feel so helpless, so useless. So stupid.

So true
all the staff felt like ****s for having been fed up with her pre-xmas stress/hormonal hissies when we heard. We certainly hadn't wished her ill.
