12 hours…. well, actually 13.

Yeah day has 24 hours I know but generally we are all asleep for 8 hours in average and some people maybe even for whole 24 but that is different topic, which I leave to Frankie elaborate on, as for he is the true grumpy one.

I’m no Einstein and not even good student to that matter but I think that I now understand theory of relativity what Albert tried to explain to everyone, who want to listen to crazy hairdo man.

Time is relative and for someone  12 hours could be long, for someone  short,  it is all depends on point of view. To observe time relativity, one has to sit at those comfy plastic blue chairs of A&E department in hospital. Believe me first two to six hours pass like blink of the eye, commotion all around, noises, nurses running around, just don’t get why they don’t wear those white mini skirt uniforms…hmmm  You are like sun in solar system just observing all the various objects hurling around you and they are not bother to pay attention to you at all. Sun is giving the purpose to all and one may say that patient do the same in hospital but it is all relative. However Stoicism must be related to science as only true stoic can observe relativity of time, passing at A&E.

So much work is going on here, that if anyone will start telling me how busy they are while they waiting for their cappuccino at office coffee dock,  I will tell them to pop to A&E to see what term busy means. God help all those nurses and doctors and staff around, know what to do in this, what I can only call like the chaos of the universe. And they are ever so polite, thank you all !

Ohhh yeah and if you want to save some money, just call ambulance, they are so lighting fast that they shove you in half naked without any personal belongings. Therefore you have no chance to buy anything in cafe as much as I don’t even think that we are allowed to leave A&E space. Today I saved a lot as I have not spent a cent. See how good the health system is, it even helping you saving your money from the corporate greed.

Not to forget the health aspect of it as there is no more progressive health department than A&E. you can only read about the dangers of prolonged resting on bed what create bedsores. Well A&E is way ahead of the science as everyone here is sitting so no bedsores and those few beds that are here are turning faster than oven trays at Fallon & Byrne bakery on weekends.  Not mentioning the newest trends in the field of diet and nutritionist. Intermittent fasting apparently has roots in India Vedas but no way Jose, it was discovered and practised in A&E departments way before that. You want to loose weight,  come to A&E and success is guaranteed.  Telling ya,  as person who likes to eat healthy with occasional break for tasty  food I.e. normal not the saw dust in many forms but real grown and raised food believe me that white toast bread is yuck to me. Well…. It was yuck to me, until I discovered that it tastes as manna from heaven after eight hours of intermittent not self directed fasting. Together with cup of proper milky tea with two sugars the taste of plain white toast bread with slice of ham is even better than Gordon’s, Jamie’s or Marco Pierre overpriced food.

Maybe it was the special 00 Italian best hand milled flour, maybe that ham was from hand massaged pig who willingly offered piece of itself as food delicacy, maybe those waitresses in blue running around or maybe just maybe it was the eight hours sitting on chair that made this sandwich heavenly delicious piece of culinary experience.

You see, you not only understand theory of relativity, with bit of stoicism on a side but also you will save money and realise that all those radical health and nutritional ideas such as avoiding bedsores and practising intermittent fasting are offered all for free at your local A&E.

Also when you see all those amazing people don’t their best with smiles on their faces after 12 hours shift, you really and truly understand the meaning of the word gratitude and grateful as I’m grateful for all the care and updates and even for the culinary exquisite tea and sandwich.

God bless all those hard working people and may they forgive me a bit of banter above.
