major crisis

there is currently a major crisis on roskear ward...
they have run out of male urine bottles and there have been frantic calls around the hospital to try and locate some. fortunately this crisis will not personally affect me!!
on my first night on this ward i could hear one of the nurses asking the men in the next bay how many bottles would they need for the night, one or two? it took me a couple of minutes to work out exactly what bottles she meant.
