I had this very delightful woman from Ghiana (forgive me if i spelled that wrong) as a patient. She was the perfect patient we all wish we had everyday. Sweet, compliant, helpful, etc. I had her for two days and was going into her room to check on her and make sure she was comfortable. She looked at me, looked down and very embarressed told me she needed sex. I was so dumbfounded, but politely responded that i couldnt help her in that department. She frowned and asked why? I told her it was a bit akward to hear and that it was just not possible. She then stated that i had given it to her yesterday. This, of course, blew my mind. So i politely said " i gave you sex yesterday Ms. X"? She totally turned red and became extrememly embarressed at this point. She said no, not sex, socks. I felt like such a moron. We were laughing for like 10 minutes. I understood sex with her accent. She made my day and im sure that long laugh made hers too.
