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 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
out of her hospital gown.” He added.
