Sitting at my desk doing some paperwork when the sharp shrill of the fire alarm went off. Within 2 seconds all the fire doors in the ward slammed shut and the whooping wail of the ‘Emergency Evacuation Tone” blared from all directions.
Given the number of false alarms in our hospital we sat around and waited for the noise to stop. But it didn’t. The indicator on the wall said the alarm triggered was on our floor.
The nurses eventually straggled out of their meeting to come and reassure the patients they would not die (at least not today) and then I noticed it. 2 of the nurses were peering out the window looking at the street below. “I can see them… FIREMEN!” Next thing I know the nurses are running around checking their hair in the mirrors and straightening the folds in their clothes. Apparently it turns out the firemen are a fine catch in a nurse’s eyes and so the 3 single attractive nurses (aged 23-30) on our ward readied themselves for the kill.
We heard the noises of people running up the stairs and I watched as around the corner lumbered (in slow motion) a large moustache endowed 60+yr old man with a BMI of 30. The look of disappointment in the nurse’s faces was worth capturing on film… their faces dropped through the floor and they started turning to go back to their meeting until…the last fireman straggled in from the stairwell. Younger than his counterparts and not sporting a beer-belly he couldn’t avoid the peripheral vision of the lead nurse who spun around with a beaming smile and said “Hi I’m M and I’m single… and so are these other 2 nurses!”
The fireys soon realised the fire alarm was not set off by someone’s nicotine addiction the door in the meeting room the amount of hot air trapped in the room set off the fire alarm’s heat sensor”. How perfect! Stick a bunch of nurses in a room and they set off the fire alarm with all the hot air that’s blowing around.
As the firemen trudged back to their chariot, the nurses smiled and waved coyly at them. “Nice to meet you… come back soon!”
