10. Nurse take these flowers out of my room I don't like the smell at night

9. My glass is empty

8. My catheter seems to be slowing down

7. Are these drops going faster than they were before? Pointing to drip.

5. I just want you to meet my family

4. My pillows need fluffing

3. There are small hairs on the bed ( from hairy male)

2. My feet are dry is there a podiatrist handy? (request 10 pm at night in a public hospital)
