Because we care
And through a sheer and bizarre turn of events, suddenly the well being of someone we care about is under threat.
Rumours spread like wildfire, and trivial coincidences in time - late nights at the office preparing for a morning meeting coinciding with night shifts... moments spent on the ward doing ward jobs - and worst of all, a complaint made by an unreasonable patient first against a horrible staff and then an unpleasant doctor (some patients are impossible to please... even the most glib of tongues can bounce uselessly off the feet of a stonewall of anger and resentment) and the rumours are flying thick and fast like a hailstorm of arrows.
And so our hand is forced, and something drastic must needs be done.
It seems almost childish; rather.. sad... Perverse.

Thankfully I can always count on one of my friends to help me out. heh.
I'm gonna so owe you bigtime for this...
