I went to the nursing home near the hospital to draw blood from one of their residents. As I entered the patient’s room, there were two nurses in the room working on getting him dressed and ready for breakfast.
I introduced myself and stepped on the side to get my stuff ready. One of the nurses noticed that his fly was open. She told the patient, “Your cow is getting out.”
Oh this got the patient really confused. The patient already has dementia to begin with. Now, he’s frantically looking for that cow and was clearly upset that his cow is getting out. He didn’t realize that the nurse was referring to the “cow” in his pants.
I could barely hold my laughter. It was funny but I felt bad for the poor worried patient and his imaginary “cow”.
