There is this gentleman who is having cancer treatment in hospital. Obviously, this is a worrying and a stressful time for him. After he settles into his hospital bed, on his first day, a nurse enters his room. The nurse asks him for his name, to which he replies, my name is Mr Handsome. The nurse looks at the paper work and asks the gentleman again for his name, he repeats his name and spells it out. Again the paper work is checked and then the nurse leaves the room. The nurse goes off to check his name at the nurse’s station as Mr Handsome does not seem to appear on the sheet.
Returning to the gentleman’s hospital room, the Nurse states, this is no place for joking around. The gentle man replies, given my illness I am unsure if I will be here tomorrow or next week, it is important that we laugh everyday and smile as it may be our last. He continues, if this place is not a place where we can smile and joke, then I must be in the wrong place and you must be in the wrong job?
