Who has ever had that feeling? You are just minding your own business and then you see someone and that flashes into your head.
Well it sometimes happens when i have seen patients in the street but this time is was worse much much worse.
I have to set the scene. I have been working hard our ward is short of nurses and i am working in a team that should have two nurses but there is only me and a auxilluary nurse so the stress and pressure is on. Also my ward is like a sauna and a green house mixed together so it is very very warm. So im not looking my refreshed best also it was 0830 in the morning so i havent managed to put make up on as that usually happens after i have woken up so that is usually after breakfast.
I had to go in and give handover to the dayshift doctors about what happened overnight. I stoated in and dropped my pen , so then as i bent over to pick up my pen i heard behind me "i recognise that" as i turned around the horror dawned on me who it was i couldnt forget the sexy voice.
OH MY GOD....... i felt sick and what the feck was he doing at my work. Then he introduced himself as Dr ........ the locum Dr for the team today and told everyone that we knew each other .I never knew he was a Dr! but equally he didnt know i was a nurse. I wanted the ground to eat me up there is not very often i am speechless but i was. I could get out quick enough and to make it even better he was the Dr looking after the team which all but one of my patients were in! ahhh
After report had finished he came to find me and done the old i didnt know you were a nurse and i done the cheesy old i didnt know you were a Dr , its a small world, it nice to see you, you look well, its been a long time, are you married, whats new with you and then we arranged to meet for lunch. Its not really my style i am a pretty private person and dont tell people much about me and felt a bit uncomfortable with people knowing at work buts its not like anything was going to happen. He was lovely as i can remember with dark eyes and wide shoulders. He would make lovely intelligent children (well you have to think of these things time is marching on, tick tick tick).
It not a situation i have been in before and i felt my face was constantly beetroot and i felt i was sneaking about which i wasnt i just was doing everything i would normally do but it was quite an exciting feeling. We had a nice lunch and chatted about the past and what we were doing now. Well as mch as you can in 30 minutes. Believe me you can fit quite quite a bit into 30 minutes. He was only working on our ward for 1 day i dont think i could have coped with more.
It was a different day , not something i expected to happen but it was nice but embarresing but i think i managed to keep it hush hush. I will keep you update.
