Treat
Your Nurse Right
When
you're hospitalized, it pays to be nice to your nurse, even
when you're feeling miserable. A bossy businessman learned the
hard way after ordering his nurses around as if they were his
employees. But the head nurse stood up to him.
One morning she entered his room and announced, "I have to
take
your temperature."
After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down,
crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
"
No, I'm sorry, the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I
can't use an
oral thermometer." This started another round of
complaining, but
eventually he rolled over and bared his bottom.
After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her
announce,
"I have to get something. Now you stay just like that until
I get back!"
She left the door to his room open on her way out, and he cursed
under his breath as he heard people walking past his door
laughing.
After almost an hour, the man's doctor came into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't
you ever
seen someone having their temperature taken?"
"Yes," said the doctor. "But never with a
carnation".
