A Visit to The Hospital

Nurse: I'm afraid visiting hours are over, sir

Visitor: My wife's in room 3B.

Nurse: Sorry, you'll have to come back in the morning.

Visitor: And leave her all alone overnight?

Nurse: I'm afraid that's the policy, sir.

Visitor: Surely you can make an exception? What if she needs me in the night?

Nurse: Don't worry, we'll look after her. What she really needs is her rest.

Visitor: Some of her friends want to see her too. When can they come?

Nurse: Visiting hours are from 9 to 11 in the morning and 4 to 7 in the evening,
but I'm afraid while your wife is on bedrest the doctor has requested that only
immediate family members come in to see her.

Visitor: Can't her friends even stop by to bring her flowers?

Nurse: Flowers are not permitted in this ward. We just can't risk any germs that
might come in with them.

Visitor: Well, I guess it's all in her best interest.

Nurse: Thanks for understanding. Now, I'm going to bring your wife her
dinner. Why don't you head home and get something to eat yourself?

Visitor: Okay. I really hate to leave her, but that's probably a good idea.
