4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me that he was having trouble with one of his medications.
'Which one ?'. . .. I asked.
'The patch; the Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!'
I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!
Now, the instructions includes removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

Re: "British Hospitals".
There is no Norfolk General Hospital. At least, not in the UK - there's one in Canada and one in the USA. 
Doubtless refers to the old Norfolk and Norwich hospital which was succeeded by the norwich university hospital. Ive heard some people refer to it as the norfolk general as well as the norfolk and norwich general in the past. (see I can be a hive of useless information 
).Still, great comments. Used to work briefly in an old cottage hospital myself years ago and the stories you heard...One of my favourite A&E ones was the lady with an action man stuck up, well it was inside a part of her anatomy should I say ( 
). Anyhow, she claimed she'd just sat in the chair and her son had left it there. Me, I wanted to know if it had "gripping hands " and "eagle eyes"
Hmmm, wonder if it was the (muff) Diver Action Man? :-/
