MAKING THE ROUNDS

Hospital nurses share their strangest encounters:

I asked a patient complaining of dizziness if she had ever been diagnosed with vertigo.

Her daughter shook her head. “No, no,” she said. “Mum’s a Libra.” tbmtonada

It was 3am when a well-dressed man came in with his eightyear-old son. “What’s the problem?” I asked.

He replied, “Well, I was at a wedding and it occurred to me that my son is a little short. Can you give him something right now to make him taller?”

I gave a patient the hospital dressing gown, left the room, and came back a few minutes later with the doctor. To our shock, the man was leaning with his arms against the doctor’s table stark naked! He gave us a huge smile and started to come over to give us a hug. That’s when the doctor intervened with a firm handshake and a walk over to the still unopened hospital gown.
