Over the christmas period I took the short straw with nights running over until the morning of the 27th. In my downtime between shifts on the 25th my brother drove down to pick me up so that I could join in with the family Christmas festivities. I slept most of the day, Tobi took over the dinner duties and we had our traditional 100 present pile up under the tree….I woke to fit some of this in before whipping back down to Kent to join in the next night’s battle. Curiously A&E having been something of a ghost town on the 24th was heaving the night of the 25th. I guess moving your accident and emergency to fit around Christmas is possible!
