It would seem that no matter what hospital you work in there is always a shortage of pillows. It becomes a struggle to actually keep the pillows on one ward so each patient has this most basic of comforts. How is it then that each ward/department is continually on the scrounge for these items, stopping any bed that leaves their ward to whisk "their" pillow back from underneath an unsuspecting patients head? Where do they vanish to? Unlike the missing socks in a washing machine mystery...I think i have found out a piece of the pillow jigsaw! They simply go on adventures! They travel around the country side looking for places to be of use, they travel by ambulance, car, plane...whatever it takes...they go adventuring. One thing can be said though, they outlive their home based cousins by far. I am surprised by the original date on this pillow as being 2005! Surely that is a long time to be in the health industry doing its duty! At least one can not say that hospital staff are careless with, or ruin their precious pillows and deliberately squander budgets unnecessarily...

THE GREAT PILLOW MYSTERY

That is the best pillow I've ever seen!! I'm usually well amused by pillows with one or two far away places tagged on them, but this is awesome!
