Hospital Regulations
Posted by: JesterEveryone is probably aware that hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged.
A student nurse was asked to take a discharged patient out of their room. The nurse went to the room and found an elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet. He insisted that he didn’t need any help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let the nurse wheel him to the elevator. On the way down, the nurse 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.”
