Hehhee soooo right!
The Health Aerial Evac System is perfectly suited to getting all the folks up for the Bathurst Island Footy finals too!
Ive never seen so many "offical" escorts than at this time of year....
As for the Bessy's, Bettys and Freds of the long grass, they go out 'cause they got tired of waitin! ... and call an ambulance cause they feel sick again!
There are huge resource allocation problems associated with hospital obsconders, as each obsconder has to be reported through the police as well as a concern for welfare....
Had another funny one though....
Chappy hit by car on McMillans Rd outside airport GA road in Darwin...
He was okay barring a few scratches and bruises, and was quite chatty.
Dumb blond me .... I asked why he ran across the road... this is the story he told....
He was drinking with his friends and they got drunk (so far same old same-o!). Then his male drinking buddy starts gettin irate and tells our friend to stop looking at his mrs... Drinking buddy picks up a large stick and starts trying to beat his hapless victim with it, so, in his eagerness to escape this apparent madman, he ran, and ran... he was getting short winded (short of breath) and forgot to look for cars as his flight across the road began. By lan three, he was cleaned up....
I asked "well okay, was she worth the beating and getting hit by the car then....?"
The reply was most emphatic...
"Nahhhh sister! she was Urrgly!"
