A big-shot attorney ended up in the hospital for a few days\u2014and from the moment he arrived, he made quite the impression\u2026 just not a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He treated the nurses like they were his personal staff, constantly complaining, snapping orders, and acting like the entire place existed just for him. Nothing was ever right\u2014the food, the pillows, the timing\u2014everything got a complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Needless to say, the staff quickly lost their patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone\u2026 except the head nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She had seen his type before, and she wasn\u2019t about to let him run the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One morning, she walked into his room with a calm expression and said,
\u201cI need to take your temperature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right on cue, he started complaining again\u2014about the timing, the inconvenience, the whole situation. After several minutes of grumbling, he finally crossed his arms, opened his mouth, and said, \u201cFine. Let\u2019s just get it over with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurse shook her head.
\u201cNo, sorry. I can\u2019t use an oral thermometer for this reading.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That triggered a whole new round of complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually, with an exaggerated sigh, he rolled over and reluctantly complied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurse proceeded, then paused and said with a slight smile,
\u201cI need to get something. You stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And just like that, she walked out\u2026 leaving the door wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minutes passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then more minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visitors walked by. Staff passed through the hallway. A few people glanced in\u2026 did a double take\u2026 and tried not to laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attorney\u2019s face turned bright red. He wanted to move\u2014but she had been very clear: don\u2019t move.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Twenty minutes later, the doctor walked in, stopped, and blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat on earth is going on here?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The attorney snapped, humiliated and furious, The doctor tried to keep a straight face. He paused, then added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDid it ever occur to you\u2026 that thermometers don\u2019t have tails on them?<\/strong> \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hallway burst into laughter, and from that day on, the \u201cbig-shot\u201d attorney suddenly became the most polite patient in the entire hospital.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A big-shot attorney ended up in the hospital for a few days\u2014and from the moment he arrived, he made quite…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":17683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17684,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17682\/revisions\/17684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
