Thursday Special ~ Hospital regulations
Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged.
A student nurse found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet. He insisted he didn’t need her help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let her wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down she asked him if his wife was meeting him.
‘I don’t know,’ he said. ‘She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.’

Thanks to John for wheeling this one in.

Good one.
I have heard it before but I don’t think I’ve used it. I’ll check.

Having had enough hospital experiences, I can picture this happening in real life too!

Tilly - Use away, these stories are like Rolo - made round to go around.
Ramana - I would not be surprised.
Gigi - Glad you enjoyed it.

I’m with Ramana, LOL (kind of). The way hospitals are organized - and I use the term loosely - it is a dangerous place to be for your health!

Fossie - I’m thinking of buying a white coat and sticking a file or two under my arm, sure I could get all the exercise I want wandering the corridors in the heat and save on my home heating oil.
WWW - like ourselves!

A relation of mine was thanked for saving lives as he took a break from painting a hospital corridor. Think it was the white coat that misled people.
