Drive Away

This is a new one-

ER nurse- "Patient X in bed 3 won't be over for their x-ray. They have to drive their wife somewhere. We'll call you when they get back."

Hmmm, I guess the husband's night sweats and chronic cough weren't worrying the wife very much. She still wanted her ride 'somewhere'.

The patient showed up 45 min. later. I made my student do the x-ray.
Better they get TB than me.
