CASUALTY

Soon after John had returned to the ward, he began to regain consciousness. The nurse
who was looking after him removed the airway from his mouth and gave him a pillow for his
head. For the next few hours he slept soundly. From time to time the toes of his injured leg were
examined to see if they were warm and pink, and his pulse and blood pressure were taken half-
hourly.
At 6 p.m. John woke up and complained of severe pain in his leg. The surgeon who had
performed the operation had prescribed Pethidine if John complained of pain, and he was given
an intramuscular injection of 50 mg of Pethidine at 6.10 p.m. As his blood pressure was now
within normal limits, the bed-blocks were taken away and a bed-cradle was put in his bed to take
the weight of the bed-clothes off his legs. A nurse offered him a bottle, but he said he could not
manage to pass water.
A houseman visited John during the evening to check that he was all right and that he
would be able to sleep. He prescribed a second injection of Pethidine, which was to be given at
midnight if John complained of further pain. Two nurses came and helped John to wash his
hands and face and to change from the white theatre gown into his own pyjama jacket. John, who
had been allowed frequent sips of water because he had not complained of nausea, was now
given a cup of tea and told the nurses that he was beginning to feel fine.
