I always relish the night shift at the hospital. The administration have all gone home, that leaves the professionals to fully take over and we can do our jobs without too much interference from the budget boys. Too many fingers in the pie if you ask me! I remember once when a patient was in pain and there was some argument over whether we should use the latest methods to ease the pain. The poor patient was pumped full of morphine, while three admin men discussed whether the hospital could afford the very latest miracle light rays that have just been introduced. This is a brilliant, bright new starlight, that mimics the rays of starlight that have streamed unused and ignored by scientists until a very powerful computer picked up the almost silent sound of the starlight rays bouncing of the Earth’s surface. Professor Modesty then hooked the starlight to a machine that generates a beam of fantastic intensity, that has proved to be the most powerful painkiller ever known. One gentle bathe in the purifying quiet starlight and pain is instantly a memory that allows time for the medical specialists to identify and cure the causes. This wonderful new technique is very expensive to use as it is difficult to generate starlight in the daylight hours. Now on the night-shift we are able to freely use this pain killer, without any interference or repercussions from these admin ignoramuses. The quiet light eases the pain of the patients and ensures a drug free, pain free night. What these budget conscious, penny pinching idiots don’t seem to realise is that the stars come out at night and the quiet starlight is free to use without the necessity of expensive machines. I do love the night shift.

I Really like this …it shows how people in charge are so focused on the expense, yet are ignoring the main reason for the need of such an expense…someone (and not themselves) is in pain and really needs the treatment! It’s not easy for the money pitchers to understand when they are not the ones in pain . And, they fail to look for the less expensive ways and still be able to meet the patient’s needs.
Thanks Jessie ~ Have a great weekend 😁
Interesting mix of reality with fantasy, with that touch of wonder perfect for sci-fi.
