There are few harder working professionals out there than nurses. These folks work all kinds of odd hours and can pull in an insane amount of hours per week. They have to spend a lot of time away from family and friends to help save lives, and they are not compensated as well as they should be. Nurses have to be on their feet all day and remain alert, which means they’re likely in physical discomfort whenever they are with a patient. In this joke, one very rude patient learned the hard way why one should never annoy their nurse.
A bigshot business man had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. He was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed them around just like he did his employees. None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him. The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him.
She came into 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 behind.
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. He curses under his breath as he hears people walking past his door, laughing.
After a half hour, the man’s doctor comes 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?”
After a pause, the doctor confesses, “Not with a carnation.”
