Hilarious 10 min skit of the operation from hell! Some props, hospital gowns and masks, blood soaked piece of foam.
Read an extract here:
Curtains open to music from Casualty. Operating table onstage with patient, begowned Doctor and Nurse in attendance. Underneath table box contains two flatirons, tenon saw, drill, large knife, piece of sponge shaped like liver and dripping blood.
When music stops and changes to heartbeat:
Doctor: No anaesthetist nurse? Blasted health cuts, just have to do our best. You’ll have to double up.
Nurse bends at the waist, doubling up as if in pain.
Doctor: No no Nurse, I mean you’ll have to administer the anaesthetic as well as being a nurse
Nurse: Oh! Yes of course Doctor
Patient suddenly sits up
Patient: Can we get on with this operation? I’ve been cancelled seven times already
Doctor: Anaesthetic Nurse!
Nurse produces a large toy balloon hammer and whacks the patient over the head
Nurse: There! Now you’ve been cancelled eight times
