Simple Operation
Posted by: JesterA patient was found wheeling himself frantically down the hall of the hospital in his wheelchair, just before his operation.
A nurse stopped him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I’m getting out of here. I’m not about to have my operation in this hospital.”
Somewhat shocked, the nurse asked him what happened.
The man replied, “I heard the nurse say, ‘It’s a very simple operation. Don’t worry, I’m sure it will be alright.’”
“Yes, she was just trying to comfort you. What’s so frightening about that?”
“She wasn’t talking to me.” The patient explained. “She was talking to the doctor.”
