 William O'Neill
I'm the Head Porter in this hospital. What do I do?
Well, I run the place. Porters do more than just push
food trolleys around the hospital. We transport
patients by wheelchair or stretcher from the wards
to Radiology or Physiotherapy and back again. We
remove dead bodies to the mortuary, we lift and
carry heavy equipment and furniture, and we
dispose of all the waste. Each hospital bed produces
4.5 kilos of waste every day. We collect it each day
and take it away for recycling. We deliver the post
all over the hospital and bring letters for patients-
that's a very important thing. As we move around
the place, we take files, samples, and specimens
from here to there and back again Last year I walked
1,800 kilometres! To do all these things a porter
must be fit, be able to think clearly in an emergency
and be polite and friendly, Next time you are waiting
for a porter to answer your call, please be patient.
He will be with you as soon as he can
