A little sunshine

Oftentimes, because of all the medications, the lack of restful sleep, and a new enviornment, many of our older patients become delerious during their stay. This morning one of my paitents, an older, well-distinguished gentleman who is pleasantly confused and disoriented called me into his room.

Can I help you?

Well yes, you may. (speaking slowsly and deliberatly with a Carribean accent) I've been trying to do as people tell me to. They tell me to stay out of the sun, so I try to. But I fear I've been out in the sun too long today. And now, now I think I'm having diarrhea.
