Hospital Regulations

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.

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.'
