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.'
