Older 4 Folk

[Guest thrasher]

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he! Didn't need my help to leave the hospital.

 

After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.

 

On the way down I 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."
