I am extremely busy at the moment, I'm often posting from my PDA and mobile phone. I should be catching up with stuff on Friday (including answering all those comments people have left).
Got some blood results (post PEP stuff), seems my White Cell Count is still going down. I think they have a life-span of 120 days, so it might get lower before it gets better. Still it gives me an excuse to see the rather pretty occupational health nurse.
Today we did the usual of little old ladies who feel unwell calling their GP and the GP calling us to take them to hospital because they are too busy to actually drag their arses out of their office to visit sick people. On the Radio it seems that lots of people are dropping dead - the weather is quite a bit warmer (24 Celsius) so the old are placed under a bit more physiological stress.
I have a hundred and one things to do, and no time to do it - simple stuff like paying bills can be incredibly hard when you are single and a shift worker.

And I think I'm moaning too much...

I'm off to bed now - goodnight all.

Well, they still haven't found the chemical weapons which have gone missing in London - yet. East London is a melting pot, there are 220+ languages, probably as many religions and racists hang around outside schools looking to beat up ethnic minorities. Eastern Europeans have a fight every Friday night, we have Mosques, Churches Temples and Gurdwaras . We have people who are quite plainly insane, and people who are "bad, not mad". We have organised crime and individual psychopaths.

There are enough individuals and groups who bear others a grudge that the find of Phosgene would seem like a gift from god.

Our Chemical Decontamination team are looking nervously at each other...

Oh, well - fingers crossed.

Hopefully I'll have another 10 year old who wants to avoid school so I can get a nice fried breakfast at the hospital today. The weather is lovely, so cruising the streets of Newham looking for sick people is actually a pleasure.

Are my priorities in the right place?

A van carrying Phosgene and Methyl Bromide was stolen today from Bow.

Phosgene, for those of you who don't know, is a poisonous gas which was used in the trenches of World War I - hideously fatal to humans. Methyl Bromide is an insecticide - and is not much fun to be around either. Why was a van carrying, for want of a better term, chemical weapons left unguarded? Was it stolen to order? Why hasn't the government mentioned this - why isn't it on every news programme in the country?
This is the secret knowledge of the ambulance service...Does it make you sleep soundly in your bed knowing that this stuff happens and you never know about it?

If you smell a mossy/cut grass smell then go upwind and await the emergency services in their "noddy suits".
