What to Do When You Are Bored in a Rehab Department

Before I begin, I must first demystify the myth that ALL government workers are lazy. The colleagues I associate myself with are some of the most hardworking individuals you will ever meet! This is some of the fun we have in our rare downtime:
  • Do the weekly crossword in Move as a team building exercise.
  • Make a pin up picture of McDreamy (with removable boxers...).
  • Test drive the tilt table, electric wheelchair and any other form of equipment in the department with a motor.
  • Sleep on the plinth.
  • Go to physio for a massage.
  • Have your hearing tested by the audiologists.
  • Ask a handsome colleague to come down to the rehab department to show the ladies  what he is wearing, and said colleague agrees.
  • Be a guinea pig for the audiologists new ABR machine (if you value your ear lobes I would not recommend this).
  • Arrange the wheelchairs by size, only to realise you put the most common size in the least accessible place.
  • Draw a line in the OT store room dividing it exactly in half, and throwing a hissyfit if any of the physios crutches crosses this line.
  • Hang the most hideous life-sized doll from a window in the staff bathroom, and count how many staff members miss the bowl.
  • Climb a tree on the hospital grounds because it will make a good photograph and get caught by the physio HOD. 
  • Make a collection box for two poor OTs who would like to go to Australia and call it the Chadia Fund (this doesn't work well in a government hospital however, because patients are poor and doctors are stingy). 
  • Prank call a dietitian pretending to be his supervisor.

That's all.
