Medics Suspended for playing 'Lying Down Game'
Permalink  

Seven medics in England were suspended for playing the 'lying down game' where people are photographed lying down in unusual places with the objective that the lying down should be as public as possible and that as many people as possible should be involved. Doctors and nurses were photographed laying in places such as ressurection trollys and ward floors which angered the hospitals bosses, and are currently awaiting a disciplinary hearing.

Should the medics have been suspended? Was it only harmless fun? Or a threat to safety and priority of patients in the hospital?

I'm not entirely sure what happened, the doctors and nurses were doing this during work hours as a game? If so, they definitely should not have been doing it during! I'm sure the patients were probably a little concerned that their doctors were playing games instead of...working? Hospitals normally have a very serious, responsible reputation to keep up.

Ok well regardless whether the nurses or doctors were on doing this during their work hours or not, a hospital is not the place to be playing the laying down game. If they want to play so bad they can get a group together and go play it outside of the hospital on their own time.

Well, if it was during work hours, then they shouldn't have done this. However, if they absolutely had nothing else to do, then it seems like harmless fun. They shouldn't be suspended, but a punishment is still necessary.

If they were on the job and playing these games then yea they really shouldn't have done this. But if off work then of coarse...why not?
