A hospital consultant was doing his Monday morning rounds with a student nurse in a hospital ward. They approached the first bed where a poor soul lay, obviously seriously unwell and groaning in discomfort. The consultant addressed the nurse 'This patient nurse, I gave instructions that he be given one tablet every eight hours. Has this been done? ' The nurse replied 'No sir, I have given him eight tablets every hour'. The doctor looked horrified abd exclaimed 'Oh my God' They approached the next bed where the gentleman lying there appeared in an even worse condition than the previous patient. The consultant asked the nurse 'This patient nurse, I gave him instructions that he have four tablets every twelve hours. Has this been done?' The nurse replied 'No sir, I have given him twelve tablets every four hours' The consultant looked mortified and screamed 'Oh my God' They approached a third bed where the patient was lying there deader than Elvis Presley. The consultant questioned the nurse 'This patient nurse. I left instructions that you prick his boil. Has this been done?' The nurse looked terrified and screamed 'Oh my God'
