Be Nice to Nurses

---

When you're hospitalized, it pays to be nice to your nurse, even
when you're feeling miserable. A bossy businessman learned this
the hard way after ordering his nurses around as if they were
his employees. But the head nurse stood up to him. One morning
she entered his room and announced, "I have to take your
temperature."

After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down,
crossed his arms and opened his mouth. "No, I'm sorry," the
nurse stated," but for this reading, I can't use an oral
thermometer." This started another round of complaining, but
eventually he rolled over and bared his bottom. After feeling
the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, "I have
to get something. Now you stay just like that until I get back!"
She left the door to his room open on her way out, and he cursed
under his breath as he heard people walking past his door
laughing. After almost an hour, the man's doctor came into the
room.

"What's going on here?" asked the doctor. Angrily, the man
answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen someone
having their temperature taken?"

"Yes," said the doctor. "But never with a carnation."
