.....If anyone watched this weeks holby city.

Vet wrapping you're ribs and taking painkillers designed for horses, refusing to stay in hospital as you just 'don't have time' and trying to kill yourself rather than just seeking some help :D
 
Holby City - no-one wants to stay in (got too much to do), gets up and leaves, then collapses either in the toilet or the carpark - "CAN I GET SOME HELP IN HERE !!!" is the weekly cry. The patient cast is "spot the out of work soap actor" , and WHY is the new lady surgeon now in CARDIAC section, when she was introduced as a TRANSPLANT specialist. And WHAT about her fringe ??? And what happened to Michael's shiny suits ? And where did Max come from, and is he supposed to be attractive ? And how do doctors just walk into the job, and then out, and then back again, and human resources don't seem to notice? And just how tall is Hanson ?

Anyone else got more to add - I JUST ADORE Holby :D Got this week's episode taped.
 
He he I too love Holby :D

I had to chuckle at last night episode as, before the story unravelled, I told hubby how I'd cracked some ribs as a youngster. My YO wrapped me up in vet wrap and gave me some bute (!) and I continued on my merry way!

Hubby nearly wet himself when it turned out shed been nicking the horsey meds ;) :D
 
One of the most unrealistic (I hope!!!!) series, frustrating, you just want to shake them and tell them to get a grip....these are people's lives they are not dealing with....:mad:

Just have to watch it!:rolleyes:
 
This is actually the second (as far as I have seen) time they have had a horsey woman in and the last time the character was exactly the same as this weeks one...I think one of their writers has very fixed views .

Hahaha, showing your age here, dont you mean recorded !!

My kids look totally bemused when i say 'taped'
 
I thought she was a bit tidy to be horsey! The initial thought for all of us is, 'no can't, what about the animals'. Never used horse meds but did dislocate my finger when the knot of a lead rein knocked it out. I put it back in place and got friend to wrap it to the fingers either side of it with vet wrap. Finger looks a bit wonky. when i showed it to a doc some time later, he said that it had probably been broken too. Finger still works so job done!
 
I never seen it but I broke my wrist a few weeks ago and was in a cast.

i wrapped the cast in purple vet wrap to keep it clean ( nothing worse than a manky cast).

When i went back to get the cast off, the nurse took one look at me and said " lemme guess, horse rider". I was laughing so hard, she said its always the horse riders who come in with the brightly coloured wrapped casts :p
 
Holby is mine and OH's absolutely favourite programme :o

The writers definitely have a fixed view of horsey women - I did like the fact that the YO came to hospital in an ambulance complete with her brand new riding hat and whip :D I carry mine wherever I go as well :rolleyes:;)

And Henrik's very handy sewing kit in his desk drawer for when he needs to stitch himself back together. I always thought he was a droid so was quite surprised to see blood :eek:

And WHO does Eddi's hair???
 
Buddylove I must apologise I was in stitches reading your post. I had a vet once stitching a horses leg he true to put in more local when horse reared up & vet tote is eyebrow area off blood dripping he didn't feel it as he had anaethatised himself. Trooper that he was carried on regardless.

Love holby agree though eddy sort your hair
 
Love it!!!! OH said told you all horsey women are crazzy!!!!! Not only do you go riding in the rain, but you all don't go to doctors when you've injured yourselves, vet wrap will do and just carry on :)

Also it's know as hold me t*tty in our house :D

Love Henrik, but think if I ever met him I'd p** my pants and cry.

So glad that, that Bins has gone, he was a right git!!!!!
 
I was carted off in an air ambulance last year, part of the cocktail of drugs I was given prior to being moved was ketamine, my response was horse tranquiliser.

I was also very concerned that my hat, crop and stock pin were safe, my new breeches, boots and jacket were not cut and my horse (who took herself off for a four mile fun run) was safe; I was less concerned about my potential injuries, maybe that was the ketamine talking!

My friend who is a Ward Manager would soon give short-shrift to any doctor, consultant or otherwise, who tried to tell her nursing staff that they could/should do overtime etc or in any other way try to take on a supervisory role of the nurses.

I often think that the 'advisor' to the series must have watched 'Carry On Matron' to get the job!

And me, on the NEC carpark with 17.2h hunter needing a spot of help before the final judging - large syringe of Tempralax, flings his head up, missed totally, me underneath with mouth open.

Result - horse in top 7 went best ever - I was away with the fairies. Anyone wanting to know if Tempralax works the answer is yes if you are 50 plus, fat and over excitable !
 
Aaah acp - wonderful stuff

I remember when my daughter (aged 15) had an accident when doing cross country - she got carted off to A&E despite me saying she's fine, let her finish the course. Got to A&E, the first question was 'What were you doing when you you injured yourself ... to which daughter replies 'knitting!!!' then to find that they wanted to cut off her new breeches, new long leather boots and body protector - No Way say I - yanked off the body protector and pulled off the boots and breeches - they just stood there doing goldfish impressions. and Yep she was fine, just a little bruising. on one of her arms.

I'm a typical horsey mum - no nonsense - unless it's gushing blood or something's dropped off - get back on and stop whinging

Vet wrap is bloody amazing stuff :o What the doctor basically used on my last break. I'd use it on way to docs.

I didn't realise I'd fractured my wrist the last time I did it :o I just vet wrapped it! Fantastic stuff. Luckily I work at the local hospital, and one of the ortho consultants has horses so she's used to it!

Vet wrap is also amazing at holding bandages on legs and awkward places like when you've grazed the end of your elbow.

It's a staple part of my human and equine first aid kit!
 
Hold your T*ties is a must seen in our household (I work for the NHS)! Apparently Prince Philip regularly used to take bute for arthritis back in the 1970s & he is still going strong!

When I worked in a hospital environment I bust my wrist - within a week I was back at work and still riding! Being next door to the plaster room I was a regular to have a new plaster put on as they get so frowsty looking. Everytime they cut one off a whole load of hay and straw used to fall out!

Only starting watching HC when Guy Henry joined the cast ... he's so cool :D Was backstage at Barbican many years ago after Merry Wives of Windsor (cultured, moi...) in which he'd played Dr Caius brilliantly and he signed my programme 'Bonne chance, Guy Henry'. I still treasure it. Followed him round the RSC for years after...

and shurely 17.3hh is not 5 foot 6? Or am I being very pedantic now?
 
Lol....vet wrap has been used to top ip bandages in our house, a groom on a yard I was at sprained her ankle badly instead if going to a&e like the yo wanted she just wrapped it up in vet wrap:D and carried on......

Also danilon tastes rather powdery if anyone was wondering, I ripped open a packet a litre to forcefully on night and got a load on my mouth!
And have been wormed a few times too:o
 
My flatmates and I thought we would be better advisers to Holby. We were all just nursing students at the time. Last time I worked in a hospital, the doctors weren't sleeping with all the nurses.
Course if it was realistic than it would be boring. No one would want to watch a ward round (hanson or no hanson). The new transplant team were doing a transplant related op. The patient had developed pneumonia (tho it was also referred to as GANGRENE!) on a transplanted lung.
I've wormed and bute'd myself too (never on purpose).
