Hospital mixups

Steve's joke about "rules" reminded me of the (allegedly true) story of the enthusiastic group of medical students assigned to the urology clinic.

They found an old fellow sitting in the waiting room and had him lie down for a prostate exam. He dutifully complied and after eight rectal examinations, the group could not come to a definitive diagnosis.

Eventually they decided to ask the old fellow what was ailing him, and he replied: "nothing - I am just waiting for my friend."
