Dear Maggie,

Ever since you left Holby the team have been somewhat distracted and distant especially Charlie. As the days go by he seems to just drift away from his colleagues and friends. Everyone is really worried and have noticed that he isn't his normal cheery self.

Now after you went Marilyn brought in a new Lead Consultant by the name of Nick Jordan down from Darwin. He seems like a nice chap but having a new face just after losing you it seems a bit hasty. Especially since Marilyn didn't even tell us or acknowledge that you had departed. As for Simon he left Holby and went abroad. Marilyn after she appointed Nick got fired and left as well. As for where she is now, no one really knows and frankly no one really cares.

On a good note, Charlie has been made Senior Charge Nurse. However, he doesn't seem to pleased about his promotion. This though can be understood as he's been a bit distant lately. He thinks the only reason he got promoted was because Marilyn wanted him to be on her side with the plans she has for Holby. Yet, knowing Charlie the bribe won't work on him and nothing she says will convince us either.

Although Charlie is managing to cope better with what has happened we are still worried about him. Last week he was brought in by one of the paramedics after suffering a heart attack. He had to go up to Darwin for an operation. This was a shock to all of us but, not more so than to Jay, who said that he should be treated by us but Nick Jordan said he had to be transferred up to Darwin. Jay wasn't to pleased with this as he told Mr. Jordan that we treated our own. Thankfully Charlie pulled through. Both Elliot and Mr. Jordan didn't give up hope.

By the way if you are wondering who Jay is, he's the new staff nurse that Charlie took under his wing even though Tess wasn't to keen on him. I don't blame her though… he was 8 hours late for his first shift and Tess was really mad at him. We also have on our team 8 new F2s who are under the watchful eye of Adam and Zoe.

Hope all is well and can't wait to hear from you soon. Everyone here will be waiting your reply in anticipation.

From,

Ruth
