When I was providing home care in the community a few interesting things occured. My friend and were often oncall at night. If a patient called with an emergency we had to go to make the visit. My friend was called at are midnight. A patient was bleeding from the nose. The wife thought is was serious enough to have the nurse come. It turned out to be a simple nose bleed.
What a nuisance!

Penny, a good Assessment nurse was awakened
at 4 a.m. to make a house call. She reluctantly
got dressed and braved a snowstorm. After the
examination, she told the patient to send immediately
for his lawyer and relatives and friends and make a will.
When she got home and told her husband of what
she had seen and done. Her husband asked, "Was
the patient that bad?"
Penny said, "No, I just didn't want to be the only
sucker called out on a night like this."
