Hospital Rules

"Hospital Rules"

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, who insisted he did not 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 do not know," he said. "She is still upstairs in
the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

"Remembering Rose"

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's
house, and after eating, the wives left the table
and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen
were talking, and one said, "Last night we went
out to a new restaurant and it was really great.
I would recommend it very highly."

The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"

The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What
is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know the one that is red and has thorns."

"Do you mean a rose?"

"Yes, that is the one," replied the man. He then
turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose,
what is the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"
