Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

The Curtain Or The Door

The patient was in the clinic and needed to be admitted to the hospital, so the clinic nurse put the patient in a wheelchair and brought him up to our floor.

Not familiar with our layout, she asked where the patient's room was. I pointed to a small corridor with a single door. Could it be any simpler? Apparently not. She wheeled the patient to the linen cart and pulled the curtain aside to reveal, well, linens.

The patient just stared at her. If a nurse can't tell a linen cart from a room, what hope is there in leaving the hospital alive?

This is a photo of the hallway. Would you choose what's behind the door or the curtain?

How about the blue bins? What's in there? A patient room?
