BEFORE YOU READ, MAKE A LIST WITH A PARTNER OF THE THINGS YOU THINK A HOSPITAL PORTER DOES. 2. READ ABOUT WILLIAM O’NEILL. DOES HE MENTION ANY OF THE THINGS AS  YOU? WILLIAM O’NEILL

I’m the head porter of the 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 of 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. INSTRUCTIONS: DECIDE IF THESE SENTENCES ARE TRUE OR FALSE. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Porters only push food trolleys around. They move patients around the hospital. Patients take dead patients to the wards. Each ward makes 4.5 kilos of waste every day. Porters give patients their email. The porters destroy all the waste.
