Tromso
5 Answers
I posted this question in the TV category but got no reply, so I wondered whether anyone here might be able to help. My apologies if it is misplaced.
We watched a documentary on Monday called Back From the Dead about a method of extreme cooling as treatment for apparent heart and brain death. At one point, the doctor presenting the programme was driving to a hospital in Tromso, Norway, when his car was delayed by a group of what appeared to be nurses marching along the street playing drums!
We couldn't decide if they were actual nurses or a group - at a festival perhaps - advertising their act or some such thing. The programme itself made no reference to the incident. Did anyone else see this and, if so, have you the faintest idea what was going on?
I tried googling and there is some suggestion that the name Tromso may be related to the word tromma meaning drum. Perhaps it is a local symbol. Maybe they have to march thus to work every morning, I don't know. Do you?
Thanks for any meaningful response.

Thanks, JTH and Ankou. A stag-party or student-rag incident, eh? Very probable. Neither had occurred to me, basically because I didn't study the "women" in the scene in particular detail and so never even noticed that they may all have been men!
I live close to a major hospital and see streams of nurses heading for work every day. I had often thought they could do with a bit more discipline and regimentation such as a drum-corps might provide! That's a joke, by the way, in case any (real) British nurse tries to take me to task over it.
Yes, it was a fascinating programme.

i personally, would have studied the "women" in this scene.
