Quick Funny Story

I worked Thursday night and ended up having a busy night. But all was well, I had a funny patient that kept me going. She was the nicest foley induction I've ever had. Every time I would leave she would say to me "Thank you sooo much". It wasn't just a thanks or thank you. It was a thank you sooo much. Wonderful! She was great. I gave her an ambien around midnight and ten minutes later she was loopy. The quickest ambien ever. I tucked her in and told her to call me if she needed anything. She touched my wrist and looked at me with these half opened eyes and said,

"Thank you lady in purple.."

She closed her eyes and fell asleep. I looked at her husband and he looked at me. We both started laughing. What a great night.

hilarious...were you wearing purple?

I told Lee about that and he laughed too. Ambien has all sorts of unlisted benefits (Caution: this medication may cause extreme funniness).
