an odd request

Some things the patients say here are just too funny, really.  

My co-worker had just given one of her patients a shot of morphine for pain, when the patient lying quite comfortably in the next bed over perks up. She waves her hand and casually, but eagerly, states that she would like one too.

Who asks for a shot in their buttock for the heck of it?!  We busted up laughing!! 

Only in Africa... :)

maybe it is a bad sign, but every so often I would like to have my morphine IV back...Just because it felt so warm... and my clock hasn't conversed with me in a while.

Hopes and prayers
