Story Transcript:
Ga: Ní raibh aon rud níos gnóthaí ná Ospidéal Chontae Luimnigh ar Lá Fhéile Bríde.
En: Nothing was busier than Ospidéal Chontae Luimnigh on St. Brigid's Day.
Ga: Lá fuar, ach sa seanfhocal, tús na primavera é.
En: A cold day, yet in the proverb, the beginning of spring.
Ga: Bhí Cian sa chaos, rud a bhí neamhbheartaithe aige.
En: Cian was caught in the chaos, something he hadn't planned for.
Ga: Bhí sé díreach tar éis geataí an ospidéil a thrasnú nuair a fuair sé amach go raibh an fón mícheart ina phóca aige.
En: He had just crossed the hospital gates when he discovered he had the wrong phone in his pocket.
Ga: "Ah, Aoife! Tá fón altra éigin agam!" a dúirt sé, a ghuth lán le níos mó mearbhall ná éadóchas.
En: "Ah, Aoife! I have some nurse's phone!" he said, his voice filled with more confusion than despair.
Ga: Bhí Aoife, a chara is fearr, ar an líne eile, réidh i gcónaí le cuidiú.
En: Aoife, his best friend, was on the other line, always ready to help.
Ga: “Fán socair, a Chian. Caithfidh tú é a thabhairt ar ais sular thuigann sí é,” a mhol sí trína chluasán.
En: "Stay calm, Cian. You need to return it before she notices," she suggested through her headset.
Ga: Bhí cóisir earcaíochta ag an otharlann an lá sin, rud a cheap Cian go bhféadfadh sé dul i bhfolach ann gan stró.
En: The hospital had a recruitment fair that day, which Cian thought he could hide in without trouble.
Ga: Ach bhí rúidim faoi thalamh i gcoinne fíor-eispéireas an ospidéil.
En: But there was an underground rhythm against the true experience of the hospital.
Ga: Bhí slua dochtúirí ag bualadh le chéile i gcomhair stailce, ag lorg níos fearr do na hotharlannaithe.
En: A crowd of doctors was meeting for a strike, seeking better conditions for the hospital staff.
Ga: Bhí Cian mar phíosa gan choinne sa chluiche seo. Ba é an stailc chomhad méadú ar mhearbhaill.
En: Cian was an unexpected piece in this game. The strike added to the confusion.
Ga: Chuir Aoife plean le chéile.
En: Aoife devised a plan.
Ga: "Níl rogha agat, a Chian. Cuir ort cóta bán, beidh tú cosúil le dochtúr ag cúrsáil timpeall."
En: "You have no choice, Cian. Put on a white coat, you'll look like a doctor cruising around."
Ga: Ní raibh an bhanríon páirt a ghabhann le clíar mar Aoife ag fágáil an oíche gan plean!
En: The queen of the accompanying retinue, like Aoife, wasn't leaving the night without a plan!
Ga: Bhí Cian ag streachailt leis an gcóta fada nuair a chonaic sé an fíorúdaráis á thionlacan dochtúirí eile.
En: Cian was struggling with the long coat when he saw the real authorities escorting other doctors.
Ga: Ní mór dó a bheith cúramach gan a n-aird a tharraingt.
En: He needed to be careful not to draw their attention.
Ga: Ar deireadh, sa hindra an ranga pediatráice, d’aimsigh Cian Niamh.
En: Finally, in the pediatric section, Cian found Niamh.
Ga: "Is mise ba chúis leis seo, tá an fón agat ach i mo láimh!" a dúirt sé léi go ciúin.
En: "I'm the cause of this; you have your phone but in my hand!" he quietly said to her.
Ga: Bhí iontas ar Niamh, a d’fhéach air le súile móra cáirdiúla.
En: Niamh was surprised, looking at him with big friendly eyes.
Ga: Ach ní raibh am acu breac-chuntas a dhéanamh.
En: But they had no time to outline everything.
Ga: Bhí daorsúilíonn céimithe an ospidéil snaofa.
En: The ho
