As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If they are, I get busy and print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's wrists.
Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she said she couldn't eat bananas. Imagine my surprise when a few hours later a very irate young man marches himself up to the nurses' station and demands,
"Alright now, which one of you has labeled my mother 'bananas'?" |
