Better yet, jump out of it.

I was in the hospital once and there was a guy all suited up in orange plastic coveralls and a mask with a respirator. His job: clean the room two doors down the hall from mine.

My imagination ran wild as I stared at the ceiling vent wondering if the air conditioner maintenance guy changed the filters recently…..or are they good enough…..or was he the patient in that room……or are the filters even installed……..

Nurse came in and gave me some morphine…..I didn’t give a sheet after that.

I have to say doctor, that I am a little concerned after seeing all those pin-holes on the wall next to the window.

After crash landing his spacecraft, Gsrtdky soon regretted entering a Earth hospital to treat his injuries.

That contagion must be truly virulent if doc needs 10 paces interval.

“This might sting a bit…”

That does look like a serious disease, requiring drastic treatment… but I don’t think launching the needle from a bow will help.

You’ll just feel a little prick.

Morphine didn’t touch my pain but the fentanyl did, though!

That was years ago, last surgery they don’t give it out anymore.

Is that an upgrade from a 10 foot pole?

He’s going to aim at the fleshy part of your spine.

Ouch!

gotta luv it when they tell ya “you’ll feel just a little pinch”… I’ve been pinched, and I’ve been stung by honeybees and wasps, so, no… it’s not a little pinch. It’s much more like being stung!

During a hospital stay for severe angina a nurse actually threw the hypo at my stomach for the daily heparin shot, I said she should have shouted “thar she blows!” first. remarkably it was painless too.

I see a problem with his technique, how is he going to retrieve the needle.

“I REALLY don’t want whatever you got.”

Ouch

This’ll all be over in just a moment.

Aim for the buttocks.
