It's seven in the morning when he arrives, so he isn't greeted by the usual cries of 'Young blood!' from one of the residents with a more active sense of humour. One or two patients seem to be awake, though not up. One is trying to read, turning the pages in his teeth as one hand lies limp and useless by his side. Guppy pauses, getting a notepad out of his pocket, and notes down.
'Thing for turning pages'
He then makes his way to the staff room. There are two nurses in there, neither of whom he's met so far. They appear to be playing a game of Operation on the table, and look up in surprise when Guppy comes in. He smiles.
"Hi, I'm Guppy, your new registrar?"
"Wow, you're like really early. The patients aren't up yet." The first nurse smiles. "I'm Kelly, that's Pam. I think you've met Cassie already, she's in the office doing paperwork."
"Does anything need doing?"
"Mr Jackson in bed twelve is having reactions between his medications. And the kettle's gone cold."
"And there's your locker. We stuck fishies on it." Pam pipes up.
Guppy grins. "Thanks." He opens the locker and finds a cupcake in it. "And thanks again."
He takes the cake out and puts his bag and coat in, then sets off to find the ward sister.
