'Lying down' NHS staff suspended

Staff at Swindon's Great Western Hospital face possible dismissal after posting online pictures of themselves taking part in the Lying Down Game.

Seven hospital staff have been suspended for their part in the game, played in mid August.

The game involves being pictured lying down with arms by your side and toes pointing towards the floor.

A hospital official said: "Disciplinary hearings are yet to take place and we cannot predict the outcome."

The images, since removed, were posted on the social networking site Facebook under the title Secret Swindon Emergency Department Group.

In the spirit of the game, extra points are awarded for being pictured in unusual settings.

It is understood staff were pictured lying down on the hospital's resuscitation trolleys, ward floors and the Wiltshire Air Ambulance helipad.

They were laid off...

Also some were found to have been lying on their CVs...

floored by this decision

Should have known the NHS wouldn't respond to this well. Obviously it's a heinous offence and they're not going to let it slide without doing anything about it, or just sit back and let it happen.

They need more practice so they can hit the ground running...

if i were one of these staff members, i wouldn't take this, at all.

^^^ This part is fucking genius. "oh they'll never figure this out"

MPs have a similar contest called the Lying Bastard Game

In the spirit of the game, extra points are awarded for being pictured in unusual settings.

Like lying on a sleeping patient? Surely that got you bonus points...

And the patient!

I love living in 2009

Wouldn't it be awesome to lie down on the op table, fall asleep and then wake up with sillicone boobs on your back!

'Lying down' NHS staff reinstated

"We're glad the staff are back doing what they do best. They need to understand unprofessional behaviour is unacceptable," a spokeswoman said.

Nice to see they were willing to stand up and be counted.
