You can tell who’s who in the hospital by their outfits. Colour-coding for everyone, except doctors - they’re dressed in mufti, and have stethoscopes round their necks. Consultants are the ones with a following of flunkies.
The nurses of all levels are combinations of white and blue, but the cleaners have the smartest outfit - all in black.
Yesterday though I got things wrong. This big chap wandered into the ward in a really cheap-looking red cotton jacket. He must be a porter I thought. I wonder who he’s come for today?
He seemed confident. So he should, he’s Matron!
