A businessman was confined to the for treatment of a minor malady For almost a week he made a complete nuisance of himself irritating both staff and the other patients demanding attention and expecting his every order to be followed immediately He was in a six-man ward rather than a private room his meals were too cold or not served to suit his taste the light needed to be adjusted to his demands the nighttime activities interfered with his rest and on and on He order his nurses around as if they were his employees One morning the head nnurse entered his room and announced I have to take your temperature After complaining for several minutes he finally settled down crossed his arms and opened his mouth No I am sorry the nurse stated but for this reading I can`t use an oral thermometer This started another round of complaining but eventually he rolled over and bared his bottom After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer he heard her announce I have to get something Now you stay just like that until I get back She left the door to his room open on her way out and he cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past his door laughing After almost an half an hour the man`s doctor came into the room What`s going on here? asked the doctor Angrily the man answers What`s the matter Doctor? Haven`t you ever seen someone having their temperature taken? Yes said the doctor But never with a rose
