An elderly man was taken to hospital

An elderly man was taken to hospital with a possible concussion. The doctor asked him a series of questions to which he quickly answered.

“Do you know where you are?” the doctor asked. “I’m at the Wesley Hospital,” the man replied.

“What city are you in?” the doctor asked. “Brisbane,” the man said with confidence.

“Do you know who I am?” the doctor asked finally. “Dr Hamilton,” the elderly man responded.

The doctor walked off, making notes on a piece of paper.

“I hope he doesn’t ask me any more questions,” the elderly man said quietly to the nurse standing nearby. “Why?” she asked. “Because, all of those answers were on his badge!”

There was quiet in the room and then he said: “Okay God, I will.” The nurse didn’t hear a peep from him until morning.
