I got one from a medical person too

when I woke up from anesthesia following sinus surgery I was chatting with nurses - they knew I worked 12 hour night shifts and asked if I was a nurse....I told them no, I think that would be too hard, I work in IT.......a grizzled older nurse leaned down to me and whispered, "It's easy with patients like you."
