Having retired from football, David decides that it is timeto put something back into the community and studies hard to become a nurse. One night he is on the ward, doing the rounds with the doctor. They come to the first patient in the ward who is looking a bit peaky.
"Nurse Beckham, did you give this patient two tablets every six hours as instructed?"
"No, doctor, I'm afraid I got a bit confused and gave him six tablets every two hours. Sorry."
They move on to the next patient, who is looking even more sorry for himself.
"Nurse Beckham," says the doctor, "did you give this patient one spoonful of medicine every four hours, just like I told you?"
"Er, no, doctor," says David, embarrassed, "actually I got a bit muddled up and gave him four spoonfuls of medicine every one hour. Sorry."
Unimpressed the doctor moves on to the third patient who is, frankly, at death's door.
"Nurse Beckham," roars the doctor, did you prick his boil?" .. |
