Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while a student nurse, I found an elderly gentleman, already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a discussion about rules being followed, he reluctantly let me wheel him into the elevator.
On the way down, I asked him if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said with a smile on his face. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."
