Weekend on call

This past Saturday morning I was dragged in kicking and screaming consulted at the hospital to see an elderly gentleman. He'd fainted while playing bingo at the Mishwauketomee casino the previous night.


Dr. Grumpy: "What happened, sir?"

Mr. Bingo: "I just wanted to get out and do something. Ever since my wife died all I've done is stay at home endlessly and stare at the walls. I just couldn't take it anymore, and wanted to get out. So I went over to the casino."

Dr. Grumpy: "I'm sorry sir. How long ago did your wife die?"

Mr. Bingo: "Yesterday morning."

Maybe he's measuring time in "old man years". One night =7 years. No time to waste.

Afterlife deniers take note.

LOL indeed. But he is lonely, and does not know what to do w/ himself. Hope the neuro exam did not show anything dire.

(You can take it from there.)

This earworm brought to you by my demented brain, which made this song up one day when the baby of friends was very fussy.

"Besides, I thought the date and hour of her death might turn out to be lucky keno numbers."

I hope everyone who looses someone dear to them doesn't just sit at home and mourn. Life is for living. We will all be permanently still all too soon....

Perhaps, the wife had been dying for years, prior to the actual death that morning.
