The maintenance men decided one of the huge trees next to our maternity ward needed pruning today. I tried to teach them to shout "Timber!" when the branch fell, not sure they really got it!
The building just to the left is Bethlehem, the antenatal and postnatal ward. Every time a branch fell it hit the roof, so all the patients had been evacuated.
This meant we had a ward round in complete mayhem this morning, with patients scattered across the hospital wherever they could find a space:
Below is the empty Bethlehem ward. The picture shows the left side which normally holds the post-natal patients, and then if the camera turned to the right there would be the same again of antenatal beds. 36 beds all in one big room. We do often have a couple patients on mattresses on the floor due to overload (more in gynae), but never normally as much confusion as this morning!
