Old Habits Die Hard...

AJChenMPH

Forum Health Inspector
Our patient in the hospital was a big, burly former officer. Just after surgery, and still half out of it, he became agitated and confused, tearing at his IVs and trying to escape his bed. The nurses gamely attempted to keep him calm, but were losing this battle. That's when my old Air Force training came in handy.

"Colonel!" I commanded. "At ease."

And with that, the colonel fell back to sleep.

I thought I was a POW when I came out of my Wisdom Teeth Surgery. Drugs do freaky things to me.
