For gecko


and all those dedicated women who have had a gentle hand to help those who are suffering, a soft smile for the worried families, a kind word for a stressed colleague; those who have worked long hard, anti-social hours despite being ill or tired or have guided (and even comforted) the young and inexperienced doctor through those early bewildering years. We owe you a debt that we could never begin to repay.

It's all about trust

A man died and went to heaven.

As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock.Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "Whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"

St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Helen Clark's?" asked the man.

"Clark's clock is in God's office. He's using it as a fan."
