Margaret, you made me laugh - we had a cadet on Eye Ward who did exactly the same thing - took hours to reunite dentures and patients. Even worse, we once laid out one dear old soul, and had a bit of difficulty with her dentures which seemed far too big for the gums - does happen occasionally. Imagine our horror when the old dear in the next bed complained later that her dentures seemed to have shrunk!!

The same cadet once was told to feed porridge to a complete rest patient. After a few minutes she came to me and complained that Mrs X was not being co-operative. For very good reason - Mrs X had long left us and was stone cold ..... you'd think she might have noticed.

I'm not telling you the clangers I made, but if you catch me right, you could ask me about Night Sister, the laundry cupboard, and Dr. H!
