I work as a hospital and just to get the job after the interview spent two months waiting for my paperwork etc to go through. So unless you don't want a career in nursing/healthcare anymore, then you don't discuss your patients. Blimey, what one of your entrances do they bring the patients into then? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Nicholson is one of our patients and all the nurses hate him, because he always asks them if they have their period & complains about the food." or "Hi, I'm Cary Grant's butler. I was hiding in the closet & and you won't believe what I have seen." I meant anonymous whistleblowers with postings that begin with "Rumor has it" "A little bird told me" or "A friend of a friend, who is an insider, told me." But what do I know?

msc 18,437 Posted February 27, 2020 Some of us do try to heavily hint by saying things like "am told off the radar the Laird of Balgonie is in a bad way" or "A very well known historian is sadly quite ill these days and might be looking for some Divine rest soon (but I hope not)" or the like, for example. Phantom and OoO are quite good at this sort of thing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genfærd 452 Posted February 27, 2020 I like these small rumour of the mill posts. Are they legit? Well, death is unpredictable. People can look very bad in years and survive while someone you'd never expect to pass already - well, passes. Who's not to say that X is 'soon to be dead' because someone knows a bit. Yet, they can overcome it or information was vague. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted March 3, 2020 Given the state of tabloids/media, I find it very implausible that an acute illness could be kept quiet this long. But stranger things have happened I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact I think he is the oldest living of all the men who have ever been on the deathlist. Correct me if I'm wrong! Olivia de Haviland is the oldest woman of course.
