Wheel Chair

 

 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.

 

He 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 our of her hospital gown.'
