Another well known saying not particularly nurses but the general public and doubt there are any not knowing it , was when reading the births deaths and marriages in the local paper , and someone asked what you were reading the answer was always , hatch, match and despatch. JS

Re: Sas
The amazing bit about that is they all were hatched, matched and dispatched in alphabetical order.
Not sure how the doctors managed that.

#15... All the mothers were laid out in alphabetical order and had to wait their turn as their name was called that solved the hatch bit. The match bit was a bit more difficult and was left to the vicar , who had to keep off the sacrificial plonk at times. The despatch , well we all know how expensive funerals are , or if not . Will soon find out. Any person who owns a funeral parlour can usually be bought. Is as easy as ABC. JS

Had three months of daily Radio Therapy, could see the Radio Therapists watching from behind the thick windows, felt a bit like chicken in the oven at times, only I wasn't on the rotisserie, that was rolling over me.
