Revenge Served Cold And With A Side Of Cotton Swabs
AUSTRALIA, CURRENT EVENTS, HOSPITAL, NEW SOUTH WALES, NURSES, PATIENTS, SILLY | HEALTHY | MAY 12, 2020
As part of the world outbreak, the hospital that I work for is doing a free drive-thru clinic that you have to ring and make an appointment for. The swabs are nasopharyngeal, which means throat first and then up the nose to an unpleasant degree.
One of the nurses taking the samples is looking through the list of people coming.
Nurse
#1 : “Oh! [Patient]! I call dibs on him.”
Nurse
#2 : “Um, sure, but can we ask why?”
Nurse
#1 : “Sure. Thirty years ago, he broke my nose at a school dance. I can finally get payback!”
Sure enough, when he arrives, she goes to his door.
Nurse
#1 : “Hello! [Patient], do you remember me?”
Patient: “You are covered head to toe in PPE; I can’t see you!”
Nurse
#1 : “Oh, right. I’m [Nurse
#1 ]; you broke my nose thirty years ago.”
Patient: “Oh, my goodness!” *Starts laughing* “Yes, I remember that. I’m still sorry. Get on with it, then!”
She does. He coughs and splutters and, with tears in his eyes, he asks:
Patient: “Are we even?”
Nurse
#1 : “Yup! Good luck with your results!”
