I've been waiting for so long, | |
Waiting for my doctor to come, | |
These aches been going on for days now, | |
And I'm feeling slightly down | |
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep! | |
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep! | |
I've been working night and day | |
Haven't had a wink of sleep | |
But they've been waiting for so long | |
(I've been waiting for so long!) | |
And I'm the one on-call this week |
[Paige, Stevenson together]
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Good morning Mr. Stevenson, my name is Dr. Paige, | |
and I'm the consultant on call today. | |
How are you? | |
Well I'm better thank you but it still hurts when I move. | |
Understandably so, you might be getting pressure sores. | |
Has the nurse come to change your position? | |
No, not since the morning. | |
Oh dear, we'll get her here. | |
u-u-u-urkgurqirguqhrigujkurk | |
The x-ray has come in now, | |
and there is good news sir! | |
You haven't broken your tailbone | |
and your hip is intact. | |
Oh thank heavens I don't know why let myself fall- | |
Don't worry it happens to the best of us. | |
But more importantly, how are you feeling? | |
I-I'm okay... but | |
Everything well at home? | |
I-I-I think so.. but | |
Great we'll get you discharged tomorrow then. | |
But- | |
Is there anything else sir? | |
Well Y-Yes... my- my-my wife hasn't called since yesterday.. | |
We always talk once a day, and- | |
Um, of course, we will get the nurse to call her up and see | |
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep! | |
if she's -- | |
Oh dear. | |
There my pager goes again! | |
I've been waiting for so long... | |
Give me strength to carry on! | |
Waiting for my doctor to come. | |
Thank you sir, have a good rest- | |
But doc please check on my wife... | |
My husband's somewhere in here too! | |
She's just forgotten to call! OKAY?! | |
Don't fall for these doctors lies! | |
Please could someone help me out! | |
Driving around in their cars! | |
I should've been done at six! | |
Doctors are taking too long! |
[Stevensons together]
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
The public deserve to have care! | |
I'm the one that needs some HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!! | |

[Stevensons together]
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat, heart, | |
Someone save me from this he-ell! | |
PRIVATISATION IS KEY! | |
..Shouldn't have gone to med school. |
[Fade to black]
[Fade to hospital room]
To all my friends that I have lost, | |
While crossing bridges I have crossed, | |
Dinners, weddings, coffee sessions, | |
Sorry I was never there. | |
You see, I've been on call this week, | |
I'm barely getting any sleep, | |
I'd love to catch up, I really would, | |
But they've been waiting for so looooong... |
[Ian enters]
There you are handover was an hour ago what took you so long- | |
Heyhey Ada sorry i'm late- | |
I'm - I'm so sorry my mother had another episode, the carer was running late, | |
I- I couldn't just leave her there- | |
I called up the hospital to try and let you know but I guess they didn't- | |
..Oh.. no they.. I'm sorry to hear that. | |
It's fine. Thanks for covering Ada. | |
Really appreciate it. | |
I.. hope the patients didn't give you much trouble? |
[Camera starts panning to Mr. Stevenson, holding a framed photo of his wife]
..No, no, not at all.. |
[Voices begin to fade]
Hey, okay, so, | |
Mr. Stevenson had his fall yesterday, he's - he's doing fine. | |
But we still don't know if it was mechanical or syncope. | |
He doesn't remember? | |
No. X-rays were all clear. | |
Any history of AF? | |
Not on the records. | |
Aspiration pneumonia? | |
No, his lungs are fine. |
