Arrow Space And Virtual Beds

One of my patients works in the arrow space industry, at least that's what his chart said. I suppose that it's possible his job involves shooting arrows into space, but I think it's more likely that he works in aerospace.

We had an empty bed that we could not use tonight. There was nothing wrong with the bed, the room or the roommate. The problem was that according to the computer, there was no bed there, therefore the bed did not exist. They wanted to give us an admission which we had to refuse because no one knew how to tell the computer that there really was a bed there. I know, it's sad, it just about broke my heart to turn down an admission.

If the problem had been the reverse and we had a virtual bed on the computer, but no real bed, I bet we would have gotten the patient. The patient could have slept in the virtual bed, i.e., the floor.
