K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre - Visitors

The Medical Centre is operating very well with Nurse Flo helping Nurse Emily.

Nurse Flo has made breakfast for the patients. As she finishes making the beds she sees Mr Kiwi arrive. 

 

They greet each other and he asks Nurse Emily if she will use his new eye drops that he has made especially for Rata.   He tells the Nurses that it is a great formula and his brother, Dr Kiwi, has given his approval for the eye drops to be used.

Nurse Emily administers the blue eye drops to Rata’s eyes and tells her to stay lying down for five minutes with her eyes shut as Mr Kiwi has instructed. 

Five minutes later Rata stands up, (she can’t sit down because of the bullet injury that has affected her back and eyes), she tells the Nurse’s that her eye sight is still blurry and she can now see things in purples!... instead of a shades of red. Mr Kiwi comments that the purple colour is gentler to her eyes than seeing everything in red all the time. Nurse Emily and Nurse Flo are not so sure about that. Mr Kiwi leaves after saying that he will do some more experimenting on her special eye drop lotion and will keep in touch. Nurse Emily tells Rata that she has ordered some special glasses for her to wear which will arrive any day soon.

Mr Grayson and Mr Blue arrive carrying a toilet to install in the Medical Centre.  The nurse’s both agree that they would like it installed on the second floor.

Later in the day Mrs Clematis Know, the school teacher, arrives and asks to make an appointment. Nurse Emily invites her into the consultant room and says she can have her appointment now.

Clematis discusses with Nurse Emily her health problem and Nurse Emily tells Clematis to go to the toilet (the toilet has been installed just in time!) and give her a sample of urine and come back the next day to find out the result of the test.

A parcel has arrived addressed to Nurse Emily; she opens it and inside is the pair of glasses that she had ordered for Rata.  

 The glasses will filter out the brightness which will reduce the strain on her eyes. She is seeing shades of red again because Mr Kiwi’s blue eye drops, when used, gives purple vision for about four hours.

Mrs Grayson has arrived with Ingrid and asks  Nurse Emily if she can give Ingrid a health check. 
Mrs Grayson has brought some new bed linen for Nurse Emily’s bed which Nurse Flo accepts and goes and remakes Nurse Emily’s bed while Nurse Emily is giving Ingrid a health check.

 Nurse Emily tells Mrs Grayson that Ingrid has a clean bill of health but to encourage Ingrid to drink more water.Nurse Emily and Nurse  What a busy day it has been at the Medical Centre today.   Both Nurses feel very satisfied and happy as they get into their beds for another night's sleep.

Rata, Marigold and Rosemary

This is part two of  Nurse Emily Nightingale

K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre has just opened and Nurse Emily Nightingale and Nurse Flo, (who is also a qualified dentist), have arrived to work and live at the Centre.  Patients can have appointments and stay the night or nights to have treatment at the Medical Centre.

On the first morning Mr Know arrives with Rata, Marigold and Rosemary.  Nurse Emily welcomes them in and shows them their beds and tells them that they are very special because they are the first patients to be treated at K. C. Bunnyborough’s new Medical Centre.

 Nurse Emily has arranged a consultation room where she can have privacy with her patients while she examines them. She talks to Rata first to get some history on her life and hear what treatment she has already received from Dr Kiwi.Rata tearfully starts her story.One evening her parents were out of their burrow looking for food and Rata was in the burrow playing with her brothers and sisters when they heard some gun shots being fired.Then they saw the barrel of a rifle in the entrance of the burrow and she heard a loud bang.When she regained consciousness Mr Know was holding her and told her that her parents and siblings have been shot dead and he has carried her to K. C. Bunnyborough. Rata’s eyes could open but she could only see shades of red  because a bullet had gone into the back of her head and it caused bleeding in her eyes.  Dr Kiwi operated and removed the bullet which has also caused a back injury and she cannot sit.

Nurse Emily listens to her heart and examines her eyes and decides to order some special glasses for her to wear.

The next patient is Marigold who limps into the consultation room. Marigold tells Nurse Emily that she got her leg caught in a gin trap and all the rabbits in her home area hopped away and left her to her fate.Mr Know was nearby and heard her crying.He hopped over to investigate and could see her legs were trapped.He hopped back to K. C. Bunnyborough as quick as he could to fetch Mr Grayson and Mr Blue and they all hopped to where Marigold lay, now unconscious, and with a lot of effort and strength they were able to free her legs from the trap. They brought her to K. C. Bunnyborough where Dr Kiwi came and re set one leg and bandaged her damaged toes on the other leg.She has lived at K. C. Bunnyborough since because no family members could be found.

Nurse Emily listens to her heart and examines her old leg and toe injuries.

Nurse Emily has read Rosemary's history given to her by Mr Know. Rosemary saw her family members being shot and she escaped by hiding behind a rock.Mr Know found her in a state of shock a few days later and could see Rosemary hadn’t eaten for a few days so he carried her to K. C. Bunnyborough. Rosemary hasn't spoken since she arrived at K. C. Bunnyborough .There seems to be no reason as to why Rosemary doesn’t talk. Rosemary is thin and eats very little so Nurse Emily is hoping Rosemary will put on some weight while she stays at the Medical Centre.

Nurse Emily listens to Rosemary heart and checks her ears, eyes and throat.

In the evening when the rabbit patients are asleep Nurse Emily and Nurse Flo discuss the best treatment for each of them. They have decided to get some of the furniture changed; the patients beds are too small!
