This is Dot. Actually she's called Dorota but that seems too hard a concept for people to handle so she gets called Dorothy by most and Dotty by me.
I work(ed) with Dot at Freo hospital but yesterday was her last day as she has tired of the crap we have to shovel on a daily basis (have you ever heard of another ward taking weekly poo samples from their patients?) and has set her sights on the dizzy heights of A&E work!
Junkies galore!
To celebrate her leaving us in style we bought some very scrummy looking cakes. There was a fruit pavlova with kiwis, strawberries and other exotics decorating the fluff-tastic meringue, a delectably gooey chocolate cake and a decadently swirly black cherry cheesecake.
On the ward there is a traditon of 'Cake Smashing'. Yes, you heard correctly, Cake smashing. The chosen recipient will first surgically scrub up for the exercise (you can rely on a nurse for the proper prep work) and then contemplate which of the cakes she will smash and then BAM, cake smashed. We all then sit around eating said smashed cake while oohing and aahing over the different taste sensations (albeit it mixed in with chlorhexidine hand scrub!)
It's a great way to beat stress (we can't smash patients heads in sadly!) and get fat all in a oner. So these are the pics of Dots big day:
Smash....
Stuff...
Vomit!
Anyway, Dot has decided to join us in our nerdsville blogging world and has started her own blog. You can find her here if you wish!
