The Neglected Patient

After a few minutes of conversation, he seemed ready to leave. "Guess it's time for me to get back to business. I'll check Dr. Murray's nurse and see if they can get you soon. Want me to cover you up?"

"I suppose you should. I shouldn't be lying here with nothing over me," I answered.

He placed the sheet over me, and started to leave. Then he came back, raised the sheet and looked at my body again, replaced the sheet, and moved away. As he left, he added, "That's so I'll remember you for the next time. Incidentally, I don't do this kind of thing as a rule, but I think you have nice looking peeing equipment. Your topside's not bad, either. Well - bye, now!"

Now I was really in no hurry to leave. My sore foot was still there, but I had received all the treatment I needed for my aches and pains - and for my self-esteem!
