Ben was awoken again a few hours later, this time by a male nurse, “We need to do a few blood tests on you,” he told Ben, “If everything’s fine you’ll be able to go home in a few hours.”
“Okay,” Ben nodded, he didn’t like needles, and had to close his eyes tight so as not to see what the nurse was doing. He felt a little prick in his arm, and then the nurse announced that he was done, “Really? I hardly felt it!”
“I know, it’s a lot less painful than you’d think isn’t it,” the nurse smiled, and looked at Ben’s chart, “Right, I’ll just check your nappy and then I’ll leave you to go back to sleep.”
Ben turned red, he couldn’t have another man check his nappy! “It’s dry,” he told the nurse, lying of course, “It doesn’t need changing.”
