Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged.
However, while working as a student aide, Sam found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn’t need Sam’s help to leave the hospital.

On the way down Sam asked him if his wife was meeting him.
“I don’t know,” he said. “She is till upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.” |
