Sitting in the Mater A&E...

gaiscioch

Welcome to the jungle.

I knew when I heard one drughead say to another outside the entrance as I walked in "I let you into my empire and you do this to me" - to which the other fella says "What's this about an empire? Answer me one thing: why are you calling it an empire?..." (he was not going to let up on that word) that there'd be no shortage of entertainment.

Got a seat across from 3 well-fed, black-haired women with ponytails, each wearing a coat covering their pyjamas. I wasn't there a minute before a guy was marched in in handcuffs reminding me that Mountjoy is across the road.

Then a little blond-haired kid in a green "Turtles Rule!" t-shirt about 4 decides to go over and touch this random girl who's about 3 and his Ma roars across A&E: "Alex, get away from that girl!". Hehe - good man, Alex. Then a woman with a hardened face storms in the door and looks at me and says "those fúcking arseholes!" pointing behind her, as she kept walking, to our very own Adam and Paul outside the door fighting about an empire.

Alex's auld wan is going nuts at this stage and tells him that some poor innocent guy waiting next to her "knows yer Dad and he'll shoot him if you don't stop!". Unperturbed, Alex keeps going and she screams "Stop running!". So he stops, gets down on his knees and starts crawling across the A&E floor which he's still doing.

Another prison officer with a slew of handcuffs walks in to check his colleague is OK, while Adam and Paul (one of whom has at least a very broken arm) keep coming in from their smokes outside only to be told they can't continue smoking inside the hospital. They leave, come back 10 minutes later and seem surprised when they are told again they can't smoke in the hospital.

Not bad going, Dublin for 4:30pm on a weekday!

Yeah good one, have a prisoner in a public waiting area where anyone can come in and give them anything they like on the sly. Arrange at your next visit to do something and be at the hospital at X time and meet your missus there with some drugs. That's going to work.
