Full Moons

[EvianBaby]

I heard something the other day about 999 calls increasing when there is a full moon.

Is there any truth in that?

[EvianBaby]

Oh, and if so why?

[ummmm]

I used to work in a psychiatric hospital and the full moon definitely effect peoples moods.

[ummmm]

That's why they were referred to as lunatics...

[boxtops]

Exactly, ummm

[ummmm]

The staff used to dread full moons...guaranteed it would kick off.

[EvianBaby]

Oh yeah! Luna-tics. Never occurred to me. How weird.

My aunt is a nursing sister and she has always commented on the fact that A&E is mobbed when there is a full moon.

It has been said on here that I have an effect on certain people.

[EvianBaby]

Thanks for the link. That basically suggests there is no proof anything changes with the moon, but I like to believe otherwise. It's more interesting. :o)

[ummmm]

It's also true...

'Cos, as my old dad would have said, 'all the yampy buggers are about then'. Of course I wouldn't dream of saying such a non-pc thing!

Some of my more 'interesting' patients used to play up around full moon time, I could actually predict who would call.

Of course A and E is mobbed when there is a full moon. It is full of people who have been bitten by werewolves. Did you not know that?

What is mad and goes to the moon?

A loony module!
