Lizzie's encounter on the Psych Ward
Sister Hazel is showing me round the hospital. The children’s ward has a hole in the floor so all the children have been moved to the Psych ward. The dangerous psych patients are locked in a room, the more harmless ones wander round at random. Hazel has just introduced me to the sister: Jovia, who is with one of her patients…

PATIENT: What is your name?
ME: Lizzie
P: Lizzie

P: Is that your mother?
ME: No. My mother is not here
P: I think you lie
ME: Hazel, he thinks you’re my mother
SISTER HAZEL: No I am not her mother. I wish I was

P: I will marry...
SH: Oh you need two hundred thousand cows to marry this one
P: Two thousand?
SH: Two hundred thousand
JOVIA: She is very expensive
P: I have 10 only
SH: No you need 200 000
P: And 5 goats I have
P: And 5 pigs
SH: Pigs! Well if I need pork I will come to you

Very funny. You should publish this experience, together with similar ones from South America perhaps?!
Glad you could see the funny side, psycho ward can be pretty tough. I would be interested to know you impressions of the hospital wards generally.
Lots of love Mummy

Hi Lizzie it sounds very varied and interesting. You'll have to make sure you keep up with engineering at Harrow - 2 years is a long time away from it. Hope the dam goes well, there was a television program about the Derwent reservoir or one near it where they had to dig deep trenches all the way back up the valley from the dam edges and fill them with concrete because the soil/rock was no good, although perhaps yours might not be so problematic! Where will the killer bees go when they get wet?
200,000 cows is quite a lot, we'd have trouble fitting them in, could Hazel get P. up to 100 plus shipping costs?

Hi just thought I'd leave a message to say hi and hope all is going well tho it sounds like you're having fun!! I've now started my final year - how scary is that!! I'll be a doctor in a year (provided I pass!) but enjoying the 5th year more than the 4th-there's a lot more to do (which does mean getting up earlier but hey we can't have everything!).
Keep enjoying yourself
Love
Jim

Hey u!
Sound about right. I was once told I was worth 500 goats and some cows (seems you are or expensive than me!)

Hope you are still having a great time. Sorry this a short message I am very sleepy just finished weekend on-call and not been to bed much!

Bec!
