The Nurse Who Got It All Wrong

Loading ...Dr. Masters and Dr. Johnson were discussing the performance of Nurse Ratchett who seemed to have trouble understanding the simplest instruction.
Dr. Masters said, “I notice Nurse Ratchett always mixes up the words in any instruction I give her. Why, just recently, I told her to give Mr. Jones an injection of two-milligrams of morphine every 10 hours. What she did was to give him an injection of 10-milligrams every two hours. Mr. Jones damn near died on us!”
“Tell me about it,” concurred Dr. Johnson. “Just yesterday I told Nurse Ratchett to give Mr. Bell one enema every 24 hours. Instead she gave him 24 enemas in one hour. Mr. Bell damn near exploded!”
Just then a bloodcurdling scream was heard from one of the hospital wards. The two doctors rushed to the source of the scream.
“Oh oh,” said Dr. Johnson. “I just remembered! I told Nurse Ratchett this morning to prick Mr. Smith’s boil!”
